A native American grinding root vegetables to make the remedy marketed as Dr Morse's Indian Root Pills, and other native American activities. Colour lithographs, ca. 1900.

A window display of four separate pieces showing native Americans and advertising the medicine supposed to be made by Dr Morse using native American roots vegetables. The medicines were made by the Comstock company which, under William Henry Comstock, was established in Morristown in the Adirondacks in about 1867. It flourished up to the time of World War I, but declined thereafter. The Morristown factory was closed in 1959 and the firm was dissolved in 1960 (information from University of Rochester, Rare Books and Special Collections, where the archives of the William H. Comstock Company, Ltd., are preserved)
