Why Our Great-Grandparents Have Such Fond Memories Of Their Youth...I'm surprised that they could remember anything!! <img src="http://img530.imageshack.us/img530/2035/82884648.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> A bottle of Bayer's 'Heroin'.

Coca Wine, anyone? <img src="http://img690.imageshack.us/img690/3456/27175323.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Metcalf's  Coca Wine was one of a huge variety of wines with cocaine on the  market. Everybody used to say that it would make you happy and it would  also work as a medicinal treatment. Mariani Wine. <img src="http://img832.imageshack.us/img832/5240/37377093.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Mariani  wine (1875) was the most famous Coca wine of it's time.   Pope Leo XIII  used to carry one bottle with him all the time. He awarded Angelo Mariani (the producer) with a Vatican gold medal. Maltine. <img src="http://img251.imageshack.us/img251/3890/96611679.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Produced by the Maltine Manufacturing Company of New York . It was suggested that you should take a full glass with or after every meal.  Children should only take half a glass.   A paperweight: <img src="http://img818.imageshack.us/img818/3663/91269706.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> A  paper weight promoting C.F.
