this is your periodic reminder that old-timey medicines did not fuck around

Yeah that’d probably handle a cough.

You would not give a fuck about coughing for a good 8 to 10 hours.

I have an old ladies magazine from 1896 that has stuff like this and more.

My favorite is the one urging you to use “Pabst Blue Ribbon Medicinal Malt for Women’s Monthly Meagrims” AND it encourages you to give it to young girls to ease the transition into womanhood.
