At one time antibiotics were given mainly by intramuscular injection, usually into the butt--and they left big, sore nodules for several days. Nowadays, it's more likely to be given by mouth or (if you are hospitalized) intravenous drips.
remember those big, round scars that everyone used to have on their bicep from immunizations?
My wife told me when she was a little girl, any chest problems were solved with lots of
goose grease spread on the chest area, then covered with a sheet of brown paper!
I remember being a latchkey kid before there was a word for it and not knowing anyone else whose parents were divorced.
I remember as a kid, my mother considered "divorce" a dirty word. I'd get scolded for saying it. (Ironically, my parents later divorced ). "Hate", "darn", "shoot", "shucks" and "heck" were also considered mildly bad words...short of getting my mouth washed out with soap.

Those were smallpox vaccinations. Mine is still faintly visible.

I remember those days, too. A divorced woman was only a few notches above a ****. Ditto a woman who smoked or who bleached her hair. This was in the 1930's.

Lots of women around my neck of the woods would've been in trouble in the 30s, it seems.
I remember when you could just open up a container of food or medicine as soon as you got it home from the store. This was shortly before the whole cyanide poisoning incedent of the early 80's. That changed everything. Now, you have to open the box, take the container out, remove the plastic wrapper from it, then open the child-proof cap, then remove the foil from inside the lid, then remove a big cotton wad from it. But not for allergy meds anymore...thanks to the meth cooks, we now have to remove them one by one from an annoying blister pack instead of taking them out from a bottle.
