My grandfather worshipped at the altar of Vicks. He figured if you were blind, crippled, or crazy,Vicks could cure it. Hell I remember him making me swallow globs of it when I got a sore throat. Miss him.
He taught me more about life than anyone. For being a man who left Mexico because he knifed 2 men, to this day he is the most proper man I have ever known.

They probably needed it.
They used to take quite a bit of powered lead ingestion down there. Made for some weird birth defects and eyes. They also thought kids with crossed eyes were inhabited by evil spirits. Its caused a lot of misery and greif for the poor kids.
