Many women up until the 1950’s used “paragoric” for the “Vapors” on a regular basis. It’s primary ingredient is opium. A funny story that is in my family, is that one of my great-great grandmothers was addicted to it. My Great-Grandfather started one of the first and most original drug treatment programs. He went to every druggist in the County, and threatened to open up a “can ofd Whup*ss” on the next one that sold her any. :)

It worked. :)
