Holmes, yay! Have you seen The New Annotated Sherlock Holmes? It’s totally awesome, I’m slowly working my way through finding out where I went wrong (and right) in my assumptions on what things were. (As I recall, Watson REALLY hated it when Holmes went for the syringe, not that that bothered Holmes.)
I remember as a child the corner soda fountain would still sell cola syrup, and my (very ancient–no, really, he was well past retirement age and made housecalls. Housecalls!) pediatrician recommended it to my mother. I wonder….
Maybe this explains what happened when my allergist prescribed Claritin-D. Claritin by itself worked about as well as breath mints, but Claritin-D (antihistimine + decongestant) worked great for four, five days–and then it still worked, but I was bouncing off the walls, couldn’t sleep more than an hour or so a night, etc. I guess I’m a cheap drunk, for this class of drug, anyway. (But it did NOT feel good.)
I have not seen that, it sounds cool.
Well, if you had say a cold, the caffeine would do wonders (in the coke syrup).
A quick google reveals pseudoephidrine in Claratin D, so yeah that makes sense. Personally I cannot deal with pseudoephidrine, it makes me nuts. I get racing thoughts and everything.
Actually, I think the cola syrup was supposed to be for upset tummies and/or nausea. It sort of worked, I always thought because of the the sugar. A nurse at camp one year used it for that, too, now that I think back a bit.
(My reaction to the pseudoephedrine really scared me–I have insomnia quite a bit, but I rarely feel like I absolutely must turn out all the closets at 2:00am. It did clear up my sinuses, and get rid of that allergy-exhaustion, but it was not worth it!)
