I haven't seen this for years, but it was a common medicine in our cupboard along with Virol and Scott's Emulsion. I quite liked all of them.

Just looked, as I always check Amazon for everything and they have it, 98p for a 100ml bottle. Dispatched and sold by Chemist-net (via Amazon)

Just to add . . . there is P&P of £2.95 on Amazon - so £3.88 for 100ml, but still a bit cheaper than the only other place I could find that stocks it.

Yes I remember it. I tried to buy it a few years ago but was told it was no longer available. I wonder if this is the same formula as the original.

My mum used to give it to us in a little wine glass with a drop of hot water when we felt nauseous. I quite liked the taste

She used to say "It'll either make you feel better or it it'll make you sick....and once you've been sick you'll feel better!!" That'll be WIN WIN then!

The first time I was given this my grandma said "It'll either kill or cure you" - which apparently was quite a common humorous expression in the olden days.

Of course at 5 years old I didn't know that - cue bawling tears and "But I don't want to die!"

Giving my mum and grandma a great laugh and an amusing tale for their friends.

I was interested to see what was in it, and the NHS site explains it well:
