Description

1874-present
Scott and Bowne was formed in 1874 with the partnership of Alfred Scott and Samuel Bowne; their most famous product was Scott’s Emulsion, an emulsion of cod liver oil meant to make the substance “palatable as milk” (as the 1884 ad below suggests). Cod liver oil was very popular at the beginning of the 20th century, especially for mothers to give their children. Scott’s Emulsion is still available today, but is only produced in Indonesia.
