I remember Guickal (sp?) ointment which was the most foul and evil smelling concoction ever, that Grandma would rub on the throat and wrap a hanky around your neck if you complained of a sore throat. I learned quickly to not complain. Mama never used it on us - I think she had experienced that too!!!
Also remember Little Boy Blue Bluing that Mama would add to white clothes to make them whiter and brighter. One of my aunts used it on her hair (after it had gone snow white) to keep it from looking "yellow". Thank goodness for memory lane......
Mom used to put Mercury on your booboos too, now people are freaking out about the microscopic amount in CFLs.
The heck with the mercury in mercurochrome; applying that stuff to an open wound hurt worse than the injury itself. The first time I used Neosporin it was like a whole new world opened up, LOL.

Not much of a vodka fan, though.
