If cough is keeping you awake, a little apricot brandy in some "Sleepytime" tea will give you a good night's rest!

What is Sleepytime Tea? Is there a worm in the bottle?

No worm.......it's a tea by Celestial Seasonings, no caffeine, may have some chamomile for sleep. Really good stuff!

Every hour? That's a lot of Vit. C.. So much that I'm sure you'll be spending an inordinate amount of time in the bathroom, searching for your
Lomatil. |
Recommended by MD many years ago...had many recurring colds, much tonsilitis, guy threatened to yank the tonsils and suggested trying this as last
resort. 2 colds in 35 years. Never had the side effects you speak of, but also believe
individuals react differently and would not discount your comment.

I'd be very careful handling that squirrel and the Playboy at the same time. They (squirrels) have been known to carry rabies.

Try rubbing Vick's Vaporub on the bottoms of your feet before you go to bed. Put socks on so you don't get the bed greasy and enjoy a cough free
night. Sounds crazy, but it works.

Oh, and one more thing. If you put some cypress tree berries under your pillow, you'll sleep better.

And don't forget to throw some salt over your shoulder before you go fishing.
