This concoction was created by Louisiana State Senator Dudley J. LeBlanc. Although he had no medical or pharmaceutical training, LeBlanc began creating patent medicines in 1938 when he founded the Happy Day Headache Powder Company. Described as a "Dietary Supplement", Hadacol contained about as much alcohol as a bottle of wine which made it very popular in dry counties. Promotion for the product included radio testimonials, fliers, a popular song called the "Hadacol Boogie," a "Captain Hadacol" comic book, and the popular traveling Hadacol Caravan Show. 000042249 542__ $$fPublic Domain 000042249 650__ $$aDietary Supplements$$031715 000042249 650__ $$aPatent medicines$$042216 000042249 650__ $$aNonprescription Drugs$$018093 000042249 650__ $$aVitamins$$027883 000042249 650__ $$aMinerals$$022328 000042249 655__ $$amedicine bottles$$042015 000042249 7001_ $$aLeBlanc, Dudley, 1894-1971$$042211 000042249 7102_ $$aThe LeBlanc Corporation$$042235 000042249 8564_ $$98cfecc05-47b3-49d1-831a-ff25c8da30f1$$s3023031$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/42249/files/PPC-XXXX.68_Hadacol-dietary-supplement.jpg 000042249 980__ $$aHistorical Artifacts
