    Does anyone know what Lithos was?
    The H. K. Mulford Company was a pharmaceutical company founded in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1891 by Henry Kendall Mulford (October 10, 1866 – October 15, 1937).
    At the age of 21 after graduating from the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy, he purchased the Simes drugstore, the oldest retail pharmacy in Philadelphia, dating back to 1815, at 18th and Market Streets and began producing and selling pharmaceutical preparations.
    In 1929, when the H. K. Mulford Company was purchased by Sharp & Dohme Corporation, it was producing over 800 products, including many human and veterinary medicines, including a smallpox vaccine, the rabies vaccine, and antivenin.
