Israel lived with his family in St John, New Brunswick, Canada. He was a Freeman in St John in 1836. He was the proprietor of the Market Hotel on King Street in 1838 and the proprietor of the Commercial Hotel in 1839, both being located in St John. Israel also engaged in the manufacture of household remedies. He and his son James started "Fellows and Company" in 1849 located on Germain Street in St John. They were listed as drug merchants in St John in 1850 and were the sole proprietors of the following; Fellows' Worm Lozenges, Fellows' Speedy Relief, Fellows' Dyspepsia Bitters, Fellows' Golden Ointment, Fellows' Leemings' Essence and Fellows' Balsam Liverwort & Colts Foot. Around 1857, Fellows' and Company stopped all retail sales and sold exclusively to only wholesale markets. Many of the old medicine bottles inscribed with" Fellows & Co, Chemists, St John, NB" CONTINUED

I think the second should be TWITCHELL CHAMPLIN & Co out of Portland ME, another common one.http://www.mainememory.net/artifact/11225

Trues is very common also, around here anyway. There are different versions.http://web.colby.edu/spec.../02/02/lt918-readonly/
