I can't believe any of this, WOW!

Quote:

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.
Forget 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 !!!

I'm sorry the images wouldn't transfer here.

10_1_136.gifAll I got was Cod Liver Oil and for tooth aches my mother rubbed straight ginger on my teeth. It didn't work. I told you I wasn't liked.

GOD BLESS YOU

LADIES,

If you need to loose weight then learn from the french.

Worth a look. Worth the giggle.

Men, take a look too.

My friend Paul sent me this.

STANDBY TO BE AMAZED

Guys, this is every bit as good as it looks . . .

went there in January 2012, and it took nearly a whole day to see everything

The layout is the size of a soccer pitch, about 50% model area and 50% spectator area,

and covers several floors, all linked together

Worth going to Hamburg just to see it ~

and it’s worth taking in Berlin (esp Checkpoint Charlie Museum) while you’re over there
