There's just something disturbing about heroin for children lol. It's a good thing the FDA was created.

the problem is that it actually works for coughs. All them opiates do...when it's taken as prescribed that is....

Don't forget how effective opiates and opioids are at controlling diarrhea and other gastrointestinal issues. At the time, dysentery or cholera could easily kill both infants and adults due to extreme water and electrolyte loss, and opiate-induced peristaltic paralysis likely saved many more young lives than the use of such potent drugs took away.

I used to have a Bottle of this in the '70's

I think it said opium though. I used to use it to soak a tooth in it
because of a tooth ache. Bottle didn't last long though :tongue3:
& the Pharmacy couldn't supply more , so I ended up getting it Pulled.

Stuff was mainly for Children though according to what i can find online
