From: "Early History of Lansing, Michigan's Patent Medicine Manufacturers and Druggists" by Barry L. Cantine.
Dr. Russell Thayer was born in Lebanon, Madison County, New York, in 1822. He journeyed to Lansing in 1854 and upon settling down, gave up his active practice and turned almost exclusively to the drug business. He would occasionally treat some of his close friends when they took sick. Sometime before his death in August, 1865, he brought his son (Adelbert R. Thayer) into his well-established druggist trade. Adelbert R. Thayer, after maintaining the drug business for several years, in 1873 formed the Thayer Medicine Association with offices at Thayer's Drug Store, 137 Washington Avenue. J.S. Tooker was the president of the Association, H.T. Carpenter the treasurer, and Adelbert R. Thayer the secretary and manager. They began with a working capitol of $50,000 (which was a very large amount in those days) and produced Thayer's Iron Bitters, Thayer's Syrup Stillingia Compound , Thayer's Extract of Buchu and Thayer's No. 4 Liver Pills.
