a cara..........thank you....kit for your kind remarks....and sentiments.....re the cod liver oil.....well if you grew up in my generation.....cod liver oil was a twice daily ritual....along with malt extract....and scotts emulsion.....these fine products were dispensed at the dispensary in the old county home.....pierce carney was the dispensor of these "medicines"....each day the big spoon came out .....open your mouth and swallow......way back then for us this was sheer torture.....but i know it did stand us good.....other tortures of the day were the castor oil bottle on the range.....liquid parrafin....and cullens headache powders.....syrup of figs.....
