(now known as Sigma Healthcare) was founded in 1912 by Melbourne Pharmacists Edwin Church and Ernest Leete and has since grown to become one of Australia's leading pharmaceutical retailers. Initially driven by the high prices of wholesale drugs and medicines, Church and Leete established Sigma as a manufacturer of medicinal products which could be sold only to paying subscribers. In 1913, it was decided that Sigma would open its markets to non-member pharmacies and retailers, although WWI caused production to falter. Over the following decade, the company grew, resulting in a restructuring in 1927 and the acquisition of small chemist manufacturing firm, Tromax Co. Ltd., who were struggling financially. For centuries, camphor has been used a folk medicine, likely used as a decongestant as well as a treatment for sprains and inflammation. In the 1900s, camphor was used as an analeptic by injection and was also used to induce seizures in schizophrenic patients in an attempt to cure psychosis.
