DR. MORSE'S PILLS LIVE ON

Although the original Comstock enterprise has been dissolved and

all of its undertakings in North America terminated, as has been

related herein, Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills and Comstock's Worm

Tablets are still being manufactured and sold--by the W.H. Comstock

Company Pty. Ltd., in Australia. This concern, originally a

subsidiary of the Canadian company, is headed by the former branch

manager for the Comstocks, who acquired the rights for Australia

and the Orient following the dissolution of the Brockville company.

Distribution is also carried out from this source into New Zealand,

Singapore, and Hong Kong. Packaging and directions are now modern,

the pills being described as "The Overnight Laxative with the Tonic

Action," but a reproduction of the old label and the facsimile

signature of William Henry Comstock, Sr., are still being

portrayed. Thus, the Indian Root Pills have been manufactured

continuously for at least 115 years and the Comstock business,

through the original and successor firms, has survived for nearly

140 years.
