5. Paregoric (The Good Stuff)

Yes, my mother used it on my teeth quite often; however, I cannot recall the taste (of it), nor if I had any strange reactions.

From the Internet:
Paregoric, also known as camphorated tincture of opium, is a potent, opiate-agonist liquid medication historically used to treat diarrhea and/or teething problems. Because it contains morphine, paregoric is classified as a controlled substance and can be habit-forming.
