Yes, , we all got a good start in the spring., and we got orange crush in the brown bottle, to help it go down,, some of us lucky ones got Grover's Chill tonic. or Castoria, and some of us richer kids remember, Cod liver oil, and Carters liver pills,, . we got the mumps at our house, five kids in two beds, daddy came home with sardines a couple of cans, he rubbed the oil on our mumps, and the boys got rubbed on other parts, What a hot smelly mess., Some memories are the smells of our youth,,, Connie
And Grannie use to say,...................."he's got more excusess than Carter's got pills'" Grannie use to make what she called a tar jacket. It was a t-shirt soaked in a brew that she made from roots and garlic and other smelly stuff and you wore it to get rid of Phenomina and you tore off a small piece of it each day until you were better! She also made a polus that you wore around your neck and it smelled bad too! Mom had to wear one to school once. Grannie told her to quit fussing and go on to school. She said that Mom had to wear it to get better so she did not make the rest of the kids sick..................Mom said no way would she ever make any of them sick because the thing smelled so bad no one would come near her to start with.....................................lol Gail ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, October 29, 2005 12:51 AM Subject: Re: [GAWARE] Neat Story > Yes, , we all got a good start in the spring., and we got orange crush in > the > brown bottle, to help it go down,, some of us lucky ones got Grover's > Chill > tonic. or Castoria, and some of us richer kids remember, Cod liver oil, > and > Carters liver pills,, . we got the mumps at our house, five kids in two > beds, > daddy came home with sardines a couple of cans, he rubbed the oil on our > mumps, > and the boys got rubbed on other parts, What a hot smelly mess., Some > memories > are the smells of our youth,,, Connie > > > ==== GAWARE Mailing List ==== > GAWARE Archives: http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/usa/GA/ware.html > GAWARE GenWeb: http://www.rootsweb.com/~gaware/ > > ============================== > New!
