The Antikamnia (AK) Chemical Company founded in 1890, which eventually was renamed The Antikamnia Remedy Company in 1819, was an important medicine company that thrived prior to passage of the 1906 Food and Drug act using smart worldwide marketing. As dangerous as the AK products were, success continued after 1906 by pursuing methods to flout regulations and stick to the marketing methods and legal maneuvering that kept AK sales strong. This article describes the tumultuous history of one of the most successful drug companies between 1890 and well into the 1920s.
