THE CHAS. H. PHILLIPS

CHEMICAL COMPANY

GLENBROOK.  CONN.

In 1885, The Phillips Camphor and Wax Company incorporated as the Charles H. Phillips Chemical Company. After Phillips died of apoplexy in 1888, his four sons continued to operate the business. In 1923—fifty years after Phillips patented Milk of Magnesia—the pharmaceutical giant, Sterling Products Corporation, bought the Charles H. Phillips Chemical Company. It quickly added Phillips Milk of Magnesia Toothpaste, Phillips Dental Magnesia Tooth Powder, and Phillips Milk of Magnesia Tablets. Heavy advertising, particularly of the original product, bolstered their national presence.

The Sterling Drug Company continued production in Stamford until 1976, when it shifted its operations to Gulfport, Mississippi. In 1994, Bayer AG acquired the over-the-counter U.S. business division of Sterling Winthrop from the British firm Smith Kline Beecham. The purchase included Phillips Milk of Magnesia and its iconic blue bottle.

EMERSON 

DRUG CO. 

BALTIMORE.

Bromo-Seltzer was invented in 1888 by Isaac E. Emerson and produced by the Emerson Drug Company of Baltimore Maryland.  It was sold in the United States in the form of effervescent granules that were mixed with water before ingestion. The product took its name from a component of the original formula,sodium bromide. Bromides are a class of tranquilizers that were withdrawn from the U.S. market in 1975 due to their toxicity. Their sedative effect probably accounted for Bromo-Seltzer's popularity as a hangover remedy...

Bromo-Seltzer's main offices and main factory were located in downtown Baltimore, Maryland, at the corner of West Lombard and South Eutaw Street...  Source: Wikipedia.
