THE ORIGINAL COCA COLA SYRUP [with the narcotic properties intact] WAS AVAILABLE VIA PRESCRIPTION FROM PHARMACIES WELL INTO THE 50S AND 60S. IT WAS A FAVORITE IN OUR FAMILY FOR ‘SOOTHING THE STOMACHS OF ILL CHILDREN’. I OFTEN WONDER IF THE REASON SO MANY OF MY COUSINS ARE ALCOHOLIC AND HOOKED ON OTHER SUBSTANCES IS NOT ROOTED IN THAT.
