When we'd get sick mom would put a glob in boiling water and make me breath it with a towel over my head for better effect. It'd scare you so bad you claimed you were cured. Rubbed it on my chest too. Makes it harder to get to sleep. LOL Grandma used to put a few drops of whisky in a tablespoon full of Honey and give it to me. Mom got the recipe backwards and put a few drops of honey in a tablespoon of whisky. Makes you smile a lot.

I always wondered what the hell Ray Wiley Hubbard meant in his song "Outlaw Blood" Listen to it.
My mom always used to put it in the vaporizors, 50's-60's.

I don't wear gloves , then went out and did some push mowing . By the time I rounded the lower corner of the dog pen was working up a good sweat . Breeze caught the cut grass and blew it in my face and eyes , wiped the grass and sweat from my eyes with my hands , red alert , red alert ! kept mowing but it was a bitch with eyes watering and stinging , switched directions mowing , SOB , got me on the other end of the yard . And yeah , I used my hands again , slow learner I guess . Kenneth

My Mom was a fan of Musterole, It made vicks feel like tap water.

Last time I used it was to keep a dog from licking his stitches out.
He never touched them again.
I could wish a lot of things on my worst enemy but neuropathy ain't one of them.

OSU Sig you hit the nail on the head. The Vick’s on the soles of your feet under a pair of socks really knocks down a stubborn cough and lets one sleep better with a cold.

Older country Doc told my former employer to put Vick’s under his finger and toe nails at night. Said it would cure the fungus that was discoloring and making them thick. Gnarled looking things, yellowish brown, cracked and thick. Month or two later his nails looked better. Six months later the fungus was gone.
