Moxie - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Moxie originated as a patent medicine called "Moxie Nerve Food,"[4] which was created around 1876 by Dr. Augustin Thompson in Lowell, Massachusetts.[3] Thompson claimed that it contained an extract from a rare, unnamed South American plant, which had supposedly been discovered by a friend of his, Lieutenant Moxie,[4] who had used it as a panacea. Moxie, he claimed, was especially effective against "paralysis, softening of the brain, nervousness, and insomnia."[4]
Where can I get some of this stuff? (Why, in New England, apparently.)
