Re: how sick were you when you were growing up?
I remember some black stuff in a little tin ,it was called curumquick,it nearly blew your socks off,but on a cold day it kept your throat warm,something like fishermans friends do today..
And does anyone remember zambuck ointment,,,,,,,and gibbs toothpaste in a tin,,,red ,blue or green,so we all knew our own tin,,We thought we were posh when we upgraded to S,R in a tube:eek: |
Re: how sick were you when you were growing up?
My nan used to rub Zambuk on every ache and pain, she swore by it. My dad also used to put TCP on every spot, cut, wound and splinter. He used to make us gargle with it for sore throats sometimes, it tasted disgusting. We always smelled of TCP when we were kids, it was like the family perfume. :D

Re: how sick were you when you were growing up?
My Gran used bottles and bolttles of Radian B on her rheumatic old legs and that really stank! No matter what your ailment in our home;you got "pobs" to eat to make you feel better,anyone else know what I am talking about?

I too remember the Cod Liver Oil and the vick rubbed on the chest, vaseline under the nose, and the Suleo for the nits. Remember being clamped between my Mums knees while she dragged the fine tooth metal comb through my curly hair. But the worst thing I had to suffer was an old fashioned ENEMA!! That was the worst experience of my childhood!

Re: how sick were you when you were growing up?
I was a severe asthmatic when i was a child and was forced to wear a Libby body (a thermal lined/fleecy sleeveless vest) to keep the chills of me when i was a child. I also had to sleep at night with a nightlight candle on that burned away some smelly stuff to clear my chest. Smelled liked Vicks. Think it was called a ventilator or something like that.
