Maker of the cold medicine known as 'Dr Anderson's, or, the Famous Scots Pills'. Originally from Edinburgh, but living in the Strand by 1700 at the latest, and possibly since 1697 (Long Acre before that). Declared to be the only true maker of these pills, and her product is distinguished by its packaging - a box sealed with black wax "with a Lion Rampant and 3 Mullets Argent, Dr Anderson's Head betwixt I.I. with his Name round it, and Isabella Inglish underneath the Shield in a Scroll." Last mentioned 1715, and by 1733 her business had been taken over by David Inglish, possibly her son, who was in turn succeeded by his son, James, in 1748.
