Candy, Treatment, or Poison?

These lovely bottles appear to contain candy. But that’s not the case, so far as I can tell by the labels.

These were on display at Brooke Lodge in Augusta, Michigan. I’m not sure if they are still there, because last I knew, the gorgeous place closed.

These are medications from yester year with Upjohn pharmaceuticals. Some names are Sodium Chloride, Cathartic Vegetable, Phenobarbital, Acetylsalicylic Acid, Ferrated Liver Concentrate, and, lastly, Iron, Strychnine, Arsenic, and Mercury compound.

Some are still used today. Some are no longer recommended to healthy living. Some have little if any impact. What do we use today that will work tomorrow, be ineffective on a regular basis, or lead to our demise?

(PS: No accounting for spelling even though I tried to enlarge the names on the bottles to read them.)

Content

When I’m out and about, I often think of great content for this blog. However, I feel it’s rude at the time to get out my cell phone and text myself (yes, the person I text the most is me – no text, no get done) (yes, I feel it is rude to dink around on my phone, even for legit reasons, when I’m with others). So, when I sit down at night to work on this, that fantastic idea is completely and utterly gone from my head.

I used to have a fantastic memory! Details galore: clothes, dates, times, who, when, what, etc. Over the years (and I’m not THAT old), it has diminished greatly. I’m not sure if it’s from the migraines or the medications to prevent or abort them. Any which way, if I do drag out my cell phone with you, there’s a 90% chance I’m sending myself a reminder for something-or-other. Usually dates, times, and the like.

Just like the clouds in the sky, my memory of things just flits right on by.
