    William Burr Caldwell of Monticello, Illinois, started bottling his “pepsin syrup”  in small quantities as early as approximately 1888, but not until a few years later (mid 1890s) that sales really started to take off, and afterward the company expanded quite rapidly. The company was later known as the “Pepsin Syrup Company” which continued to sell the concoction for many years.
    The Pepsin Syrup Company was sold in 1925 to Household Products Company (a division of Sterling Drugs Products), afterward going through a series of confusing owner/company and name changes.  (However, the bottles still had “Dr Caldwell’s” name embossed on them into the early 1940s).
