Anybody remember this stuff?

12. My Mom gave it to us for upset stomach

I loved the flavor. Sort of candy flavored. Mom mixed a 1/2 tsp in a juice glass of water. It was effective for settling stomach upsets.

My sister worked in a drug store during high school. They had a book people had to sign to get a bottle of paregoric. At the time, she said people would come in shaking really bad, and barely able to sign the book. Sometimes the same people came in several times in a day. They stopped selling it soon after.
