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!!!
