Unused Vintage Bell-Ans Tablets For Indigestion

Description

In the late 1800's , John Dodge, the son of a civil war Union army surgeon. who was fascinated with chemistry and pharmaceuticals, approached a chemist by the name of Bell. He had an idea of creating a remedy for indigestion, creating the Bell-Ans Tablets. The name came from Bell, the chemists name and the main ingredient pa- pay-ans which means relief for indigestion. They became a success; so in 1897, Dodge purchased 150 acres of land in Orangeburg, N.Y. Some of the buildings still stand but the main building was refurbished and renamed Bell-Ans Center and has become a place for many artists.
