Is Scotts Emulsion and Fennings Fever Cure still going

 

[MargaretR]

Fennings Fever cure contained diluted nitric acid which is on the 'hazardous substance list' and is toxic.

This website shows the 'snake oil' remedies used in victorian days.

So my mother was, trying to poison me?

 

[Lost in Cornwall]

Every time my mother gave it to me I told her she was trying to poison me. Now I know it was true!

It must have cured the fever because what ever was wrong with me out came the fennings fever cure, They must have thought it cured everything. Possibly did.

No one's discovered Scott's Emulsion it had a picture of a large fish on the bottle,can't think what that was supposed to cure.

You can still buy it, it's basically cod liver oil and vitamins, hence the picture, of a man carrying a cod on his back.

Scotts Emulsion

Thank's again Susie, dare I say, as in another post great detective work once more.Have you tried it.

 

[jaysay]

I remember when I was young my Mother used Hills Bronchial Balsam, this was before anti bios became the norm, but I still used it up to about twenty years ago, and to be honest writing about it I can still remember the taste

Had it when I was little, tasted pretty foul as I remember. Also had Virol, Fennings fever cure and lung healers, Carters little little liver pills and Dr Williams pink pills for pale people which were iron tablets and Multivite brown vitamin pills and Minadex tonic syrup.

It's a wonder I didn't rattle!

Possibly all the liquids made the pills float.

 

[JCB]

Anyone tried Pulmo Bailly ?

As soon as you take the top off the smell drives the germs away .

Nice one Roy hadn't thought of that

 

[Stuart Hartley]

Fennings Fever Cure always cured me whatever my complaint and I wish I could get a bottle now - along with Fennings Little Healers. They always seemed to work.

Ha ha. Yes, it is an acquired taste but works. I usually have a glass of lemonade straight after taking it so the taste doesn't linger.
