About this ebook
History of the Comstock Patent Medicine Business is a tracing of the history of the pharmacy and pill production company. Excerpt: "The Indian Root Pill business was carried on during most of its existence by two members of the Comstock family—father and son—and because of unusual longevity, this control by two generations extended for over a century. The plant was also located in Morristown for approximately ninety years."
