Powerful Medicine
One of the most interesting photos of the Marion Carll Farmhouse shows an old collection of medicine bottles that resemble something you’d see in a wizard movie. Yet, these remedies are not only effective but also sometimes stronger than you may think…
You can spot a big bottle of Pyranzine, which was used as a paint-stripping potion. There’s also a big glass jug of Laudanum, a powerful tincture of opium that was used as an analgesic and contained alkaloids such as morphine and codeine. Interestingly enough, there’s also a bottle of olive oil, which used to be commonly used in treating constipation and ear infection.
