KatyK thank goodness my DH didn't have smelling salts at that time, to cure my heart attack

I always have Beecham's Powders in the medicine cupboard, they do seem to work - or it could just be that I like the taste!

Indeed newist. My post should obviously have read 'my mother'

Like the taste!
You have got to be kidding.
I cant even begin to describe what it tastes like. Powder scraped from a factory floor is the best I can come up with.

Does AlkaSeltze still exist, made you burp for Britain

No, soontobe, Beechams Powders have a wonderful, clovey flavour!

<lol> at that one!

Andrews Liver Salts was mums cure all.
I used to love the taste/fizz so much I would sneak some just for the sake of it

ninathenana - I used to love Andrews Liver Salts they were so fizzy!!

Haven't heard of Impetigo lately or Osteomyalitis which was pain in the bones of the leg and agony. I remember a child I knew having it.

I have collapsed metatarsal arches, but custom made inserts for my shoes prevent it becoming the painful problem it once was (like walking on a stony beach)
