Has anyone noticed that this is a bit rare at the moment?
Even Boots can't get any, and our local chemist has been out of stock for ages!
It's great stuff, and we usually have a bottle handy...

Showing my ignorance - what is it and what does it do?

Ha, yeah I thought it was some compost blend hitherto unknown to me ::)

It appears to be a lovely mixture of morphine and peppermint oil for the "relief" of diarrhoea and upset stomachs. I assume it is like the Kaolin and Morphine mixtures that pharmacists dished out?

I think once upon a time it was known as 'chlorodyne', which was a wonderfully, um, warming concoction that my mum was strangely rather fond of. ::) ;)
It then became only available in a considerably more neutered version as J Collis Browne's mixture several years ago, but these days I keep a packet of cheap generic Loperamide for the rare occasions the need arises - works just as well, but with no morphine content not even half as enjoyable to take! 8)

Considering its active ingredients, it is no wonder you can't buy it nowadays ::)

If you get desperate, anyone...... it is available here :D :D :D
I used to really like this when I was younger... haven't had any for years though

Already out of stock, guess someone's having a party tonight :tongue2:

Yes, it's the stuff alright!
The best thing it does is actually make your insides feel warm, which helps any stomach bug considerably!
I know where there is one bottle... It's down in a few feet of water by the towpath in Beccles on The Broads, as I dropped it there when on holiday in 1984! Mrs Growster was furious as it's not cheap!
None round here though!

It would probably still be OK, too :lol: :lol:
