Historical Context
The Dr. Nelson Company was incorporated in Catskill, New York in 1898 to produce "medicinal and toilet preparations." Incorporators were Fannie C. Mott, G. F. Mott, George C. Mott, T. E. Dayton and F. C. Magie.
Apparently, Dr. Nelson was indeed a physician, whose name and practice was used to sell a variety of elixirs produced by the company. The short-lived company looks to have been one of the numerous snake-oil salesmen of the time, and was even sued by a customer who had been promised a full recovery by Dr. Nelson if he used the company's products. The court proceedings deemed the products to be worthless and ruled in favor of the plaintiff.
