Why is it called a “medicine ball”?

Medicine balls, for those of you who haven’t been to a gym or never accidentally kicked one thinking it was like a soccer ball (true story), are heavy weighted balls coming in a variety of sizes and weights (with the biggest we could find ringing in at a whopping 150 pounds) with a diverse range of fitness applications. But why exactly are they called medicine balls when, at its core, a medicine ball is just a big heavy ball?

But interesting. I never used a med ball before. Mainly because I associate it with bosu balls and hula loops.
 
I have used them a number of times, they are pretty handy with sit ups and other body weight exercises
