Can you imagine giving an infant one of these mixtures? They were very popular in the US in the late 1800's and early into the 19th century, and no doubt engendered more than a few morphine addicts.

If you tried giving a child anything like this now,you'd be thrown under the jail...and rightfully so.

I find that I only need a codeine cough syrup for a few days and giving the throat a short rest is enough to end a cough I've had for weeks. But a four ounce bottle here lasts me for years.

Paregoric was over the counter and used for coughs, colic and/or diarrhea in youngsters as recently as 1970.

When I was a kid and had a cold or flu, my mom would give me a shot of Krupnik (honey & herb vodka) and sweet tea. Worked like a charm. And I believe there's still a bottle of Paregoric somewhere in my mom's stuff here.
