Mum used to make up cough mixture for us all by letting a Spanish onion soak in brown sugar overnight and guess what, it worked. What's more, it was yummy, so I used it for my own little boys as well. They just laugh when I tell them about it now - "Oh mum, you and you zinc and castor oil and your cough mixture!"

patent medicine

I used to love a patent medicine made in a simalr way called Liquifruita I think? I use to sip away at the bottle and I understand from family stories that my coughs never lasted too long.
 
I think I remember the name Liquidruta Rod. The money they charge for cough medicine nowadays is a bit much innit.
