King's Green Cough Mixture

            It’s no secret that medicines of the past often contained a wide variety of ingredients no longer considered suitable, such as opium for teething babies, cocaine for toothaches, chloroform for bronchitis, and tobacco for asthma.  On the other-hand, this green tonic made by the Dr. King’s Medicine Company of Montreal, was made with an expectorant compound still found in many cough medicines today!  Our bottle of Green Cough Mixture was donated by a family from Emyvale, PEI.  Since the bottle is empty, it must have worked!

As the label says: “An improved creo compound to relieve hacking cough for bronchial irritation, hoarseness, loss of voice, colds, and coughs.  A pleasant expectorant for remedy for the respiratory organs.”
