The best cough medicine i ever had was from my grandmother, who "got it" from the state pharmacy she worked at; 3 ingredients in this order: alcohol, codeine phosphate, water. 1 tablespoon and you weren't coughing or coherent. Grandma always had the good shit.
When I was growing up, there was a small bottle of paregoric, which is a tincture of opium, in the family medicine cabinet. My mom would dispense a few drops of that bitter magic elixir to end vomiting and related GI woes.
