When Joseph Burnett of Southborough, Massachusetts, named his “Cocoaine” in 1856, he may have intended to play off the public’s attraction to the many cocaine-laced patent medicines being sold to treat other ailments. Burnett, however, stands out as one of the few proprietors to have been a fully qualified pharmacist, having graduated from the Worcester College of Pharmacy. Burnett first went to work for Theodore Metcalf, a Boston dealer of drugs and toilet articles. In 1847, the young pharmacist opened his own apothecary in Boston. Ten years later, Burnett partnered with William G. Edmonds, and the business became Joseph Burnett & Co.
Among the many claims was a promise to restore lost hair or prevent it from falling out.
“The Inventors of Burnett’s Cocoaine,” testimonials claimed, relied on “pharmaceutical science” to produce “the most desirable hair preparation ever offered to the public.”
Through “careful research and reiterated experiment,” the makers discovered that coconut oil, with other “scientifically selected” ingredients, created the ideal compound to stimulate “healthy and vigorous hair growth.”
