SHAW The home of Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills, more pre- cisely known as the W.H. Comstock proprietary medicine factory, stood for over 90 years in the small riverside village of Morristown, in St Lawrence County, on the ex- treme northern border of New York State. For three gen- erations village life was closely identified with the pill factory, the munificence of Mr. Comstock provided many local benefits, including the first primitive electric utility service, and pills, elixirs and almanacks poured out from this remote location to cover half of the world. However, this business did not begin in Morristown. Rather, it was established some 30 years earlier in New York City - then still a small metropolis of two and three-story buildings not extending further north than the present 42nd Street One or two years prior to 1833 Edwin Comstock, a native of Otsego County, moved to the City and established a patent medicine business.
