The Unicorn's Horn was the name of the shop owned by Dr. James Carter who was an apothecary, physician, and surgeon. He apparently chose the name as an advertising gimmick and because unicorn horn was used medicinally. Since it was so hard to find (as you can imagine) rhinocerous horn or narwhal tusks were often substituted in the recipe.
