I just thought of another. If in the winter months road repair was underway, every child with a cold was made to stand around the mobile tar boiler and breath in the fumes. I am not sure if it was the tar fumes or the massive influx of casinogens into our baby pink lungs that made breathing a little easier.

Cheers, Rodney

In the 50`s i was given great big jars of cod liver oil and malt, because i was so underweight at school, used to love the stuff, great big spoonfuls at a time. Now at 72 i am a great big fat sod, so it must have worked KT

a tablespoonful of cod liver oil and malt every morning. can't remember having a cold very often and if you did it was a boiling hot baisin of water with a towel over your head and breathe in the fumes. i think it was euclyptus oil/ it certainly got rid of the sniffles. i also remember going to school licking a lump of salt. don't know what for.

Lump of salt mate, times were hard that was your breakfast!
