Not sure what you are talking about. In the 50s, I was given cod liver oil —ugh—nasty stuff.
Also a brown syrupy stuff called syrup of pepsin—granny would say you need a good physic—and out would come that nasty tasting stuff. Yuk.
Metrical was a diet supplement; it was a canned dairy drink that came in a number of flavors. It was meant to replace a meal.
“granny would say you need a good physic—and 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!
Metracal was a diet program, shakes and cookies, precursor to slimfast.
Our family cure-all was onion syrup. It actually worked.
