Boy do I remember that stuff! Between that and Raleigh's Ointment (a greasy, petroleum-type of salve that was sold locally) -- we were indestructible!
Do they still make this stuff? LOL

When I was about six years old my brother kept a cat. It was a feral cat he rescued from some boys who were throwing rocks at it. So it lived with us, but still had it's feral instincts. The cat is legendary in our family lore.I’d have to say no, I don’t remember having this with my kids, but sure was around when I was a kid
Side note
Remember this did the same as iodine
Iodine was torcherous

Vicks Vaporub was the decongestant goo of choice in our household.And don't forget that nasty BenGay they'd smear on your chest when you had a cold. I hated that stuff.

And a jar of Castor OilVicks Vaporub was the decongestant goo of choice in our household.
In my house the first aid kit was fully stocked if it had mercurochrome, Vicks Vaporub, some bandages. a bottle of aspirin, and some cough syrup. If you had those, you were ready to take on the world.
For us it was the Vicks Vapo-rub. True, I didn't like it as a kid -- but I must admit some nostalgia to remembering how it smelled (I think it smelled a bit better than BenGay).And don't forget that nasty BenGay they'd smear on your chest when you had a cold. I hated that stuff.

Castor Oil was before my time -- although I heard plenty of stories about having to take a spoonful of it (along with walking to school barefoot in the snow uphill -- both to and from)!And a jar of Castor Oil
