Makers of the Carter's Little Liver Pills - purely vegetable pills, said to cure torpid livers, headaches and many more ailments.
1880 The Carter Medicine Co was established in America to sell "Carter's Little Liver Pills".
Not long after the company was set up in America, the company began to sell the pills from Holborn Viaduct in London.
The pills were withdrawn from chemist shops after it became difficult to prove that the pills were a cure for so many different illnesses.
1965 The company became Carter-Wallace.
2001 The company was taken over by Church and Dwight Co, makers of Arrid deodorant and "Arm and Hammer" toothpaste.
2008 Carter's Laxative is still sold in America.
