I mentioned Scotts emulsion when remembering the smell of a Chemist Shop in Ossy called Emeric Eccles and it bought back memories of all sorts of things my Mum used to dose us with!! Dr.William's Pink Pills,Little Lung Healers,Allenbury's Malt and Cod Liver Oil,Suleo ( for nits!),worm cakes Ugh!! Camphor Blocks....I had one in a little bag pinned to my vest( until I was about 15!) To keep colds away,supposedly,Witch hazel,Nitbone,Syrup of Figs and Haliborange Tablets.We never went to the doctor as Emeric could mix a bottle for anything.
Lots more which I will remember I am sure.
