It was in a brown glass jar and wasn’t castor oil or Vitalin.

You’re not talking about Paragoric (spelling???)

My mom fed us that whenever we had a cold or cough. I think it was by prescription, though. It made us sleepy.

In the '40s & '50s. we had a vitamin supplement in a brown glass jar, but I remember it as something more like a "souped-up molasses" -- dark brown, very thick & sweet. For some reason, the name, "Multicebrin" comes to mind...

Mom would give us a spoonful of blackstrap molasses because it had B-vitamins, I think.

In LA in the 50’s my gal friends’ mom gave her nightly a spoonful of something like that — I begged my mom to have some too. She said “don’t be silly” (which she said a lot) —phonetically it was something like - Ear-do-lay.
