I mean, yeah you'll stop coughing. Take enough, and you'll stop breathing too, but you won't be coughing.

I always wondered why fainting was so prevalent in the old days.

This is also back in the days when someone with no medical knowledge could, I don't know, sell antifreeze labeled as cough syrup and kill a bunch of people.

Lodnum has heroin in it. And they still make it like that.

They still make it. And the best part is you don't need a prescription or a doctor! I got mine from a doctor, though. Dr. Acula, he was a phlebotomist.

I grew up taking Cheracol-D With/Codeine for sore throats and colds. Had to sign for it at the druggist.

Half of a teaspoon would put me out for the night.

Well most people don‘t know the brand of hairspray their dealer used on their weed to make it weigh more, or how much rat poison is in their coke or funny pills.

i‘d rather drink that stuff

Smoke 1-2 dry datura leaves with some tobacco or weed...heh

Boil water, add 2 tbsp of thyme in 2dl of water, let it sit for 10-15 minutes. Filter it and mix with 100-200g of honey when water has cooled down. Eat every morning, 2 tea spoons of syrup.

Its not miracle cure but it helps.

Honey is a cough suppressant. I need an expectorant. Half of New York is sick right now. I can barely find Kleenex. And SMOKING anything is going to irritate my lungs. This is not good medical advice my friend lol but thank you.

We've just replaced the word that comes before "Oil".

It used to be called Snake Oil.

Now we call it. Essential Oil

Fun facts:

Snake oil actually works.

It's long been used in traditional Chinese medicine and gained popularity among miners and railroad workers back in the old West, where there were very few common dietary sources of essential fatty acids like EPA/DHA and vitamin E.

You need these nutrients for things like healing wounds, fighting infections, and making the body's natural anti-inflammatory and anticoagulant compounds.

The trouble—and the modern meaning of "snake oil"—arose when shysters came along selling mineral oil, which does nothing, as snake oil.

tl;dr: LADIES & GENTLEMEN, DON'T BE DECEIVED AND ACCEPT NO SUBSTITUTES, DOCTOR T.F. LANNISTER'S PATENTED NUTRI-OIL IS THE OOONLY INTERNAL LINIMENT guaranTEED TO CONTAIN 100% PURE COLD-PRESSED OIL OF THE CHINESE WATER SNAKE ENHYDRIS CHINENSIS.

I think they re-branded this as NyQuil. Chloroform, morphine and pot. I bet you passed out in about 15 seconds. It didn’t Take care of your cough but you were unconscious the whole time!

Considering we have nothing that currently works to relieve coughing if it is bad for real. Not even the opiates like ethylmorphine work at all and those are given to treat coughing today.

Perhaps it worked like a charm? Doubt it was much more dangerous.
