These delicious-tasting warm apple pie warming throat drops have been specifically crafted to provide soothing relief for sore throats. It all started on one particularly cold, bitter winter's day in 1847 in the windswept Hudson Vallye. Sly Hawkins, a travelling peddler, walked into the James Smith & Sons Sweet Shop with his secret formula for cough relief. AFter purchasing the formula, and much stirring, mixing, and tinkering, William and Andrew Smith added some delicious flavors from the sweet shop's inventory, and the first American cough drop was born! To this very day, Smith Brothers continues to be one of the world's most beloved cough remedies, and the trademark continues to stand for legendary pioneering in over-the-counter family wellness.
