[Jacquemaire's laboratories. The history of a unknown pharmacist]
Abstract:
Jacquemaire laboratories' history started in 1881 with Léon Jacquemaire (1850-1907). He was associated with drug manufacturing since he met Dr Robin during the 1870 war. Dr Robin asked him to produce phosphates. This product, as well as glycerophosphates and B1édine, made the financial success of Jacquemaire before he died in 1907. Shortly before, Jacquemaire's assistant filed the trademark hich was later on sold to Fumouze and became a great success. But the name of Jacquemaire first remains associated with Blédine, which explains that many have forgotten that he was first a pharmacist!
