Strangely, I don't remember mercurochrome as part of my mother's armamentarium. Whatever she put on cuts HURT, though, so maybe it was.
Remember cod liver oil? (oh God, that dates me!) You just know that's where Mike Myers got the line, 'Better out than in, I always say!' I'd rather just die of Vit. A deficiency.
My late mil: Put some alcohol (a variation on the Windex; she was only half Greek, so perhaps that explains it)!
My cure-alls: a cup of good, strong coffee (kill or cure). Homemade chicken soup. Sleep.
