[Magdalen] Grammar Nightmare.

"Kickapoo Joy Juice" was actually based on a real patent medicine supposedly 
from a formula of the Kickapoo Indians. IIRC, they had real Indians (likely 
not Kickapoos) in traveling medicine shows. Off season they had an 
encampment in New Haven, CT, where the stuff was made.

I discovered all this some years ago after Christopher did an "archeological 
dig" in the basement and found about 4 dozen buried patent medicine bottles, 
from ~1895. (No Kickapoo Indian Sagwa, however). We did research, turning it 
in to an educational moment. See http://www.bottlebooks.com/kickapoo.htm.

Something on this thread reminded me of that tributary of the
Wisconsin River (itself a tributary of the Mississippi) with the
interesting
Indian name, Kickapoo.  The name has always been the source of  some
local Wisconsin amusement, especially with the adoption of the  name
by the cartoonist, Al Capp of Little Abner fame for his cartoon drink
"Kickapoo Joy Juice".  This name was later added to a line of  citrus
flavored soft drinks:
