The Story Behind St. Joseph
For generations, St. Joseph Aspirin has been a staple of households as America’s first and most trusted aspirin for families. This proud fact has its origins in humble beginnings, when St. Joseph was first founded in 1887 by a Bavarian immigrant, Leopold Gerstle. What Leopard started as a small drug store in Bluff City, Tennessee, became St. Joseph Medicine Co., and expanded to drug stores and households across the U.S. The mission behind St. Joseph resonated with young and old: Make a difference by bringing health and happiness to families and loved ones.
More than 130 years later, St. Joseph Aspirin is still dedicated to that same care and commitment by being a part of a doctor-directed heart-healthy regimen. By sharing St. Joseph’s message of good health with loved ones, we hope that our aspirin puts a little love in your heart.
