Any reason we cannot add humor to recipes and music?
Someone sent this to me and I thought about the medical marijuana brouhaha (I am not debating that, it just struck a chord)--- So sorry the images didn't come thru. Funny nonetheless---
Have you ever wondered why our grandparents had such fond
memories of their youth?
I'm surprised they remembered anything at all !
Forget Tums & Tylenol; Forget Aleve & Benedryl.
Look at the cool stuff they had back then!

A bottle of Bayer's 'Heroin'.
Between 1890 and 1910 heroin was sold as a non-addictive substitute for morphine.
It was also used to treat children suffering with a strong cough.
Coca Wine, anyone?
image002.jpg
Metcalf's Coca Wine was one of a huge variety of wines with cocaine on the market.
Everybody used to say that it would make you happy and it would also work as a
medicinal treatment.
Mariani Wine
image003.jpg
Mariani wine (1875) was the most famous Coca wine of its time. Pope Leo XIII used to
carry one bottle with him all the time.
He awarded Angelo Mariani (the producer) with a Vatican gold medal.
Maltine.

Produced by the Maltine Manufacturing Company of New York . It was suggested that
you should take a full glass with or after every meal. Children should only take half a glass.
A paperweight:

A paperweight promoting C.F. Boehringer & Soehne ( Mannheim , Germany ).
They were proud of being the biggest producers in the world of products containing
Quinine and Cocaine.
Opium for Asthma:
image006.jpg
At 40% alcohol plus 3 grams of opium per tablet. It didn't cure you... but you didn't care!
Cocaine Tablets (1900).
image007.jpg
All stage actors, singers, teachers and preachers had to have them for a maximum
performance. Great to 'smooth' the voice.
Cocaine drops for toothache
image008.jpg
Very popular for children in 1885. Not only did they relieve the pain, they made the
children very happy!
Opium for newborns.
image009.jpg
I'm sure this would make them sleep well.
(not only the Opium, but also the 46% alcohol)
It's no wonder they were called "The Good Old Days".
From cradle to grave...everyone was STONED!!!
