[QUOTE="Nathan Lindop, post: 342054, member: 5285"]Nice page [USER=1262]@Joe2007[/USER]. There was a really cool illustration on that page too I’ve saved, attached it here. This particular medicine is called the baby killer because the ingredients were never blatantly stated at least not the morphine or alcohol so if a child continued crying then a mother would assume this “safe” medicine was beneficial to the baby but it was quite the opposite.
