Online old wives tail

01 Nov 2017

Hello to all my LPG friends, 
 
I was talking to a friend who observed that so many people, young and old, are still suffering from the coughs left by the many colds that descended upon the English nation just after Christmas, and I remembered a remedy that I heard about through my cousin who is trying it out right now.  
 
I was told that if the sufferer rubbed their feet with Vick and applied socks before going to bed at night their cough would soon be a thing of the past.  She told me that the person who told her emphasized the importance of keeping the socks on all night and not letting the feet escape the bed clothes.  You really have to keep them warm while the Vic is working its magic. 

I went home, turned on my tablet, and had a little look only to find the following bit of information on line.

I’ve been coughing since I had my cold last January m so I am going to try it tonight and I will let you know how I get on

JE, Downham.
