But what were the remedies they used? All I remember is the peddlers selling tonic...
Whiskey??? ;-) ;-) ;-)
Castor oil. Molasses for sour throat.
I remember my Great Gramp blowing smoke from his pipe in my ear when I had an earache. It relieved the pain.
Oh yes whiskey of course!
Interesting about pipe smoke - all those old-time remedies have a lot of modern-day medicine in them. I wonder what was in the tobacco? Or was it the heat?
I love molasses. I’ll have to google what it’s good for.
