My brother and I have recently discussed that we are not lucky to be alive. We are lucky to have grown up when we did. It made us tough and resilient. We learned to strive and compete, take chances and reach for the Golden Ring.
And you built up a lot of natural immunity from the bizarre things that you swallowed or inhaled while experiencing life.
Amen! Gotta love ya some real mud pie et al.
I remember a couple of kerosene shampoos (head lice outbreak at school). and the cod liver oil ugh! the cod liver oil.
Drinking daily from the garden hose also boosted your immunity….
That was the cleanest water we drank outside. I would not drink (intentionally) out of the ponds and most creeks as they were red from the clay soil, but I have been known to drink from a spring and lake.
Common usage in my family up and to today. It’s why I refer to “Jack” as Dr. Daniels.
Did anyone survive what?
The prescription or 1962?
(Sounds like a ‘hot toddy’ to me.)
I had three hot toddy’s to fix my covid. I slept well and was fine the next day, although I couldn’t taste or smell for 9 days hence. NB drinking habanero sauce doesn’t taste but still burns,.. twice.
This elixer should have been named “The Last Night You Will Ever Have Cough Syrup”.
They’d drink that like water in Portland…let’s send them several cases to Antifa headquarters.
My Dad used to make up a batch of this and dispense it when we were coughing. One night, when I was quite young, I got up to get a drink, got the wrong bottle and ended up spending the night sleeping in the bath tub. My Mom found me there the next morning.
That’s F’ng funny I don’t care who you are.
Covid cure? Turn off the tee vee. Covid1984’s cured… 🙄
What about HSF’s Fire Water?
Real honey, not the Wal-Mart crap, works better than cough syrup. 2 people that bought raw honey from me said that was the only thing that stopped the coughing fits when they had Corona. They were mixing it with hot tea.
Another friend just getting over it now is mixing raw honey with brandy. That is how he is testing to see if his taste is coming back. Not coughing as much is a side-effect.
I use this cure weekly, except I use four to six ounces of whisky and no lemon or honey. Works like a charm.
Adding a cigar helps even more.
We’d get that medicine as kids then Mom would put a couple of heaping tablespoons of Vicks-Vapo-Rub in the vaporizer and it was off to dreamland…..
THE doctor is also a pediatrician. Today the charge would be “contributing to the delinquency of a minor.”
I did.
The neighbor “Nurse Ratchet” who worked up on State Hospital Hill (the local looney bin for you younguns) “prescribed” it for my sniffles at 10.
Wasn’t fortunate enough to get any of that cough syrup though …
Rural kids in the 50’s and 60’s survived everything.
We’re still here … but most likely to die of “governance”.
Like the fact that he has his home phone on the prescription…
When Doctors were doctors
This is how I used to stay healthy. Enough germs, bacteria, fungi and viruses…from all over the world! And entertainment too! Now, subways are like being in a morgue…with a mask on.
Back in the late 90’s I had a literal fossil for a doctor. He smoked filterless Lucky Strikes, and did not spare the major meds when you came in sick. One time I went to him, I had the flu, and had lost my voice in what was to last 5 days. The first med came in the form of a green liquid in a long needled syringe, right on the butt, of course. The next thing he prescribed was Ru-Tuss, and the pills just about too big to swallow, but by the next morning so much phlegm had dried up I felt as dry as the Mohave Desert. The last med was his special custom blend of cherry-flavored Codeine cough syrup. He warned to follow the instructions exactly. Later, when I saw that I was only to take 1 teaspoon at a time, I thought he was full of it, so I took a tablespoon. Within 2 hours I realized that he was very right. Of course, all of the prescriptions were picked up in the pharmacy right next door to his office, to where his nurse took them before I had even walked out of the office.
Back when Doctors were doctors 👍
I found that a bit of peppermint schnapps makes throat problems go away. Or makes it so you don’t care.
Yup! We used that recipe all the time when the kids caught a cold and fever.
