why our great grandparents were happier!
Have you ever wondered why our great grandparents all had such fond memories of their youth? Well... I'm surprised they remembered anything at all!!! Forget Tums,Tylenol,Aleve & Benadryl.
- 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 its 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.
- A 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 you didn't care!
- Cocaine Tablets (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 . . .
- I'm sure this would make them sleep well (not
- only the Opium, but also the 46% alcohol).
- It's no wonder they were called, "The Good
- Old Days". From cradle to grave... everyone
- was STONED!!!
