About

Known as the effervescent health salt, Andrews Liver Salt was first made in Newcastle in 1894 and was taken to relieve constipation and heartburn.

Thanks to a kind donation from pharmaceutical company Sanofi in 2015, we are able to display a range of nostaglic old packaging, advertisements and images from their years at Fawdon Manufacturing Centre.
