Hundred Years Ago...
Marijuana, heroin, and morphine were all available over the counter at corner drugstores.
According to one pharmacist, Heroin clears the complexion, gives buoyancy to the mind, regulates the stomach and the bowels, and is, in fact, a perfect guardian of health.
And they say Woodstock was the beginning of the "flower period"
To top it all...
Coca-Cola contained cocaine instead of caffeine.... Well that would have been great, you don't need a vodka to go with it to get high ....
And to talk of sex... just check this out..
Some medical authorities warned that professional seamstresses were apt to become sexually aroused by the steady rhythm, hour after hour, of the sewing machine's foot pedals. They recommended slipping bromide into the women's drinking water... The bromide apparently was thought to diminish sexual desire...
Must advise friends to include this bromide thingy, while socalising with nymphos !
Lastly, there were about 230 reported murders in the U.S. annually......
Analysing the above data, even this figure seemed bloody high....
