TORONTONY Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Prem,prem,what's that? We had a pebble to suck on and told not to swallow it because it had to last all week And you tell the young people of today, and they don't believe you.

DUFFEMS Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 According to my other half, at their house Friday night was bath (zinc) night in front o't cooal fire, parents had first dibs then followed by the rest of the family in age order. This was ceremoniously followed by a dose of syrup of figs whether they needed it or not, nice! Glad this routine had finished when we met otherwise there'd have been no wedding.

hillsbro Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 I don't know what was in Widow Welch's Pills or how effective they were, but Mrs hillsbro wants to try them. After all, there's nothing worse than a touch of scorbutle (scurvy) or - worse still - "St Anthony's Fire". Merry Christmas, Forummers, and stay clear of "Leprous disorders".

jaffa1 Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Why don't doctors say " stick your tongue out and say arrh" anymore? They also always used to look at the finger nails saying you can tell a lot by the finger nails and another thing they never seem to do is listen to the chest with a stethoscope.
