It was probably added just as a marketing tactic. There were fewer rules about being able to say anything was a medicine, and the use of Dr at the time was a way to trick people into thinking it was medicine.

I’ve never considered it’s a person… To me I only associate it as the name of the drink and never thought deeper about where it came from.
