The golden age of cough syrup

Kinda puts the movie title "It Happened One Night" in perspective.

That looks more like "forgot-I-even-had-a-cough" syrup.

Lucy got trashed on that stuff.

The FDA and big government ruined everything.

shite probably worked good

Nice. If you took this stuff it either killed you or cured you. If it killed you, you were probably a weakling anyway. Now we have people with gluten allergies.

You see this is what happens when you outlaw this kind of stuff. Now we're so weak as a country we can't even give our kids pudding at lunch

It's like it was a gateway legislation

I wonder if back then this was considered "cough syrup", like modern day "herbal incense"

I wonder if they properly extracted the "cannibis indica" and if you could even feel the THC over the chloroform and morohine.

The glaringly absent ingredient is cocaine.

I realize times have changed and we've learned a lot, but they had to have known that all that stuff does is get you one hell of a buzz going. At least Heroin was used as a pain killer. That makes sense. There couldn't have justified that any of those ingredients actually improved your cough. Unless you just couldn't cough when you were passed the f**k out.
