The Smith Brothers were makers of the first cough drops produced and advertised in the United States, becoming one of the most famous brands in the country in its day. William Wallace Smith I (1830–1913) and Andrew Smith (1836–1895) were the sons of James Smith (c1800-1866) of Poughkeepsie, New York. James\' family had emigrated from Fife, Scotland, to Canada in 1831, and James from St. Armand, Quebec, to the U.S. in 1847. In New York, James opened an ice cream shop called \"James Smith and Son.\" James Smith bought a cough drop recipe from a journeyman peddler named Sly Hawkins and in 1852 made his first batch of \"Smith Brothers Cough Drops\".
