    I just got done sending my grandma back east some horehound candies which is an old candy that you can only get online these days. But they are also a medicine that they used back in the old days..they would melt these candies and make cough syrup..very simple and soothing..go in the grocery now and there are a million remedies..do you know of any old time remidies passed down from the generations? please share

    My grandfather said that they used to pour extremely hot oil down his ears whenever he had an ear ache.

    But his hearing has always been terrible, so...

    cause they want you to buy some $5 dollar cough syrup..they push out shit that works so big business can get their products in at a higher price

    they dont sell cough syrup

    they probably just changed suppliers and the new ones dont carry that brand
