I loved it because I just bought an old bottle of Doctor True's Elixir from an antique shop, and I'm glad to know that it has such a rich and valuable history in the lives of America's children. Just think how it must have shaped the famous people we come to adore and heroize- FDR, Woodrow Wilson, Charlie Chaplain, Fitzgerald, and Danny Devito. =3Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10155420.post-63446739233487232342007-11-26T13:36:00.000-05:002007-11-26T13:36:00.000-05:00Your Shelburne Museum sounds a bit like The Henry ...Your Shelburne Museum sounds a bit like <A HREF="http://www.hfmgv.org/" REL="nofollow">The Henry Ford Museum</A>.<BR/><BR/>Yeah, that "baby" picture was a bit freaky.

When she died in 1953, my mother took the bottle. I remember her bringing it home like she had inherited some priceless heirloom. Anytime anyone had a belly ache, she would put a few drops in a glass of water and voila!! the stomach ache went away. I think we had that bottle for 30 years before it ran out. Who knows how long my grandmother had it. No expiration dates back then!! Try and find something NOW that works like that stuff did - no such luck.SunSpotBabyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01458795387822122072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10155420.post-71369961664986933052007-09-19T13:40:00.000-04:002007-09-19T13:40:00.000-04:00J.
