Have you ever wondered why our great-grandparents
all had so many fond memories of their youth?
Well
... we're surprised they remembered anything at all!
Forget Tums and Tylenol. Forget Aleve and Benedryl.
Look at the cool stuff they had back then!
A bottle of Bayer's 'Heroin'
Between
1890 and 1910 heroin was sold as a non-addictive substitute for
morphine. It was also used to treat children suffering with a strong
cough.
Coca wine, anyone?
Metcalf's
Coca Wine was one of a huge variety of wines with cocaine on the
market. Everybody used to say that it would make you happy and it
would also work as a medicinal treatment.
Mariani Wine
Mariani wine (1875) was the most famous Coca wine of it's time.
Pope Leo XIII used to carry one bottle with him all the time. He
awarded Angelo Mariani (the producer) with a Vatican gold medal.
Maltine
Produced by the Maltine Manufacturing Company of New York. It was
suggested that you should take a full glass with or after every
meal. Children should only take half a glass.
Paperweight
A paperweight promoting C.F. Boehringer & Soehne (Mannheim,
Germany).
They were proud of being the biggest producers in the world of products
containing Quinine and Cocaine.
Opium for Asthma
At 40% alcohol plus 3 grams of opium per tablet. It didn't cure
you ... but who cares!
Cocaine Tablets (ca. 1900)
All stage actors, singers, teachers and preachers had to have them
for a maximum performance. Great to 'smooth' the voice.
Cocaine drops for toothache
Very
popular for children in 1885. Not only did they relieve the pain,
they made the children very happy!
Opium for newborns
We're
sure this would make any kid sleep well. (Not only the Opium, but
also the 46% alcohol.)
It's no wonder they were called, "The Good Old Days".

"Due
to the power and corrupting influence of Big
Pharma, the teaching of
nutritional science and the use of vitamin and herbal supplements is not
taught to any significant extent in our medical schools. The obvious
reason is
that teaching this science reduces the use of prescription
drugs."H. S. Khalsa
"A
corporation's first purpose is to make money for
its stockholders, not to serve the needs of consumers.
The BP-Gulf Coast oil disaster is an example of what can happen
happen as a result of a corporation's obsession with profits and their
indifference and insensitivity to peoples' needs." -- Opticianry Review
