It was a form of molasses like but not blackstrap. It was more like what we put in our liquid molasses licks for cows

“It might be a regional product”
That was my 1st thought. What state and was it rural or in a big city?

Geritol?
Ted Mack’s Amateur hour used to push Geritol.
In fact, I distinctly remember some old guy playing this gigantic contraption that was made out of hanging Geritol bottles with varying amounts of water in them to make different notes like a xylophone.

i was born in 1960 but remember cod liver oil and blackstrap molasses. Still far superior to the ADHD meds and anti-depressants they ladle down children’s throats these days in lieu of discipline.

We had two things to take; cod liver oil and Zyma-drops. All three of us are still kicking today.

And you are still alive..so, it must have worked?This spring I went thru every test imaginable and they found nothing wrong with me. And I forgot about the Campho-Phenique oil in the ears cure.

“granny would say you need a good physicand out would come that nasty tasting stuff.”
My grandpa had a picture of Eleanor Roosevelt taped to the back of the bathroom door for when he “needed a good physic”. He was so funny!

“take the cobalt blue milk of magnesium glass bottles and hang them from trees “
The lady who owns my favorite quilt shop out in the boonies of Tennessee has a “bottle tree” of all blue bottles by the front door, except it isnt painted white. She’s a staunch Christian woman, so I guess it’s just for rural decoration and not superstition.

I think....Paragoric was for teething.
Cod liver oil was for constipation.
Ginger ale (warm & no bubbles) was to keep you from being dehydrated...so flu, cold....

Ovaltine was my 1950s health food of choice. Not that Mom ever bought any.

Nope, no Dr Pepper in Ft Wayne/Bluffton area. First got a bottle of it AND A FIRST PACKAGE OF FRITOS when we went to Texas in 1956.

We waited anxiously as dad’s car approached the Michigan state line from Ohio because we could get our first Dr. Pepper since the last time we visited Grandparents.
