In 1856, Dr. Alvin Wood Chase—a physician renowned as one of the 19th century's most respected medical practitioners—began developing healthcare remedies for the entire family. His comprehensive approach addressed everything from pediatric fevers to adult pain relief and skin conditions, because families needed complete solutions that actually worked.

Dr. Chase was a public-spirited doctor known for his passion for medicine and holistic family wellbeing. As a free thinker, he believed that remedies for common complaints should be simple, effective, easy and pleasant to take—whether for a baby's colic or an adult's joint pain. This philosophy would guide every formula that bore his name for generations to come.

When our pharmaceutical family brought Dr. Chase's commitment to Canada in 1961 with Stella Pharmaceutical Canada Inc., we didn't just import products—we imported a philosophy: put families first, effectiveness over profit, trust over marketing hype. 

Jerry Abraham, as a second-generation pharmacist with Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy and Master's in Pharmacy Administration, understood that Canadian families deserved gentle effectiveness across all life stages—from infant care through adult wellness.

We made decisions that changed everything: instead of creating new products to chase market trends, we became the guardians of Canada's most trusted healing traditions across the entire family health spectrum.

In 1995, we acquired Dr. Chase's pediatric herbal remedies, and in 1998, we welcomed the heritage Minard's pain relief formula (trusted since the 1860s by Maritime fishermen) into our family of care. We didn't acquire brands—we preserved gentle healing wisdom that had been helping Canadian families for generations.

Our third-generation pharmacist, Josh Abraham, continued this commitment to preserving remedies that work—ensuring every formula maintained its original philosophy while meeting modern pharmaceutical standards.

For over 60 years, our family—spanning three generations of licensed pharmacists—has proudly safeguarded the complete Dr. Chase family of care. We've helped nurture health and create cherished Canadian family memories from childhood through adulthood.

Dr. Chase's original philosophy guides every formula across our complete family of care: remedies should be simple, effective, easy and pleasant to use. We've maintained this gentle approach while applying modern pharmaceutical precision and Health Canada regulatory standards—whether treating infant colic or adult joint pain.

Our formulations use time-tested natural ingredients—from dill oil and fennel for babies to camphor and pumice for adults. But we don't rely on tradition alone: every product is manufactured to pharmaceutical standards with rigorous quality testing.

As licensed pharmacists, we believe families deserve clear, honest guidance about health at every life stage. Our customer service includes pharmacist consultation, and every product comes with detailed safety and usage information—whether you're caring for a colicky baby or managing joint pain.

We understand that health isn't the goal—preserving the moments that matter most is the goal. Every remedy we create protects the memories you're making and the traditions you're building, from your baby's first peaceful night to your active golden years.

Whether it's ensuring your baby sleeps peacefully, helping your child recover from a cough, soothing your joint pain after a day of gardening, or maintaining clear skin for that important family photo—we're here to help Canadian families stay present for life's defining moments.

"The remedy in your hands passed the same test we use for our own family: Does it work? Is it safe? Would I trust this with the people I love most? Will this preserve the health that preserves your memories? If we wouldn't give it to our own family, we don't make it for yours."

We're not just preserving Dr. Chase's remedies—we're preserving Canadian family memories by ensuring health challenges never force you to miss the moments that become tomorrow's treasured family stories.
