MY NOTE:

  Quinine WAS the "thing" to cure many ailments
( which it actually DID - during the '40's thru '60's)
Came in the form of "tablets"  THEN they removed
it from the "over the counter" market and made sure
we could never get it again... NO ONE in my family
was HOOKED on ANY KIND of medicine.. but when
something DID crop up.. Quinine "always" worked.
There were NO side effects that were visible etc.

They also got rid of IODINE and the BLUE STUFF in
a bottle ( both over the counter ) which "cured" shingles...HOWEVER I discovered LAST year that
by buying ANYTHING and EVERYTHING that was a
DEEP BLUE color ( eyeliner, blue popcycles, any kind
of BLUE ointment, ) that I could cure my mothers
shingles which attacked her "on her scalp"  I drew
a BLUE line around the location of the shingles,
blue ointment on the scalp and fed her BLUE popcicles.. I found out it had "something" to do
with the BLUE DYE ( that specific color) and it
WORKED.   SHE DID LOOK RATHER "STRANGE"
FOR ABOUT 2-3 DAYS WITH THE BLUE MARKINGS
ON HER HEAD, NECK ETC..    

WE ALL DESPERATELY NEED "IODINE" 
THE ENTIRE POPULATION ( 95%) IS IODINE
DEFICIENT.. IF you go to Amazon and get books
on IODINE you will soon learn HOW many AILMENTS
 AND BIRTH PROBLEMS ARE A RESULT OF "NO IODINE" IN YOUR BODY...

WHY OUR GREAT GRANDPARENTS
WERE SO MUCH HAPPIER THAN WE ARE

I've never heard of these oldies but the labels look right. 
I believe the tooth ache drops are still available?

Have you ever wondered why our great grandparents all had such fond memories of their youth?

Well... I'm surprised they remembered anything at all !!! Forget Tums & Tylenol, Aleve & Benadryl.
Look at the cool stuff they had back then!

A bottle of Bayer's 'Heroin'.

Between 1890 and 1910 heroin was sold as a non-addictive substitute for morphine.
It was also used to treat children suffering with a strong cough.

Coca Wine, anyone?

Metcalf's Coca Wine was one of a  huge variety of wines with cocaine on the market. Everybody used to say that it would make you happy and it would also work as a medicinal  treatment.

Mariani Wine.

Mariani wine (1875) was the most  famousCoca wine of its time. Pope Leo XIII used to carry one bottle with him all the time. He awarded Angelo Mariani (the producer) with a Vatican gold medal.

Maltine.

Produced by the Maltine Manufacturing Company of New York . It was suggested that you should take a full glass with or after every meal. Children should only take half a glass.

A paperweight:

A paperweight promoting C.F. Boehringer & Soehne (Mannheim, Germany). They were proud of being the biggest producers in the world of products containing Quinine and Cocaine.

 

Opium for  Asthma:

At 40% alcohol plus 3 grams of opium per tablet. It didn't cure you... but you didn't care!

Cocaine Tablets  (1900).

All stage actors, singers, teachers and preachers had to have them for a maximum performance. Great to 'smooth' the voice.

Cocaine drops for toothache.

Very popular for children in 1885. Not only did they relieve the pain, they made the children very happy!

Opium for newborns.

I'm sure this would make them sleep well.  (not only the Opium, but also the 46% alcohol)
 

It's no wonder they were called, "The Good Old Days".
From cradle to grave...

......everyone was STONED!
