When I was a kid I remember other people talking about coca-cola syrup, but
we only had paregoric in the kitchen cabinet. A teaspoon or so was taken
in a bit of warm water. It worked wonders for an upset stomach.

Nowadays it's impossible to buy without prescription, and most doctors
won't write one for it. Too bad.

I haven't been on this site for quite some time, but had to comment on
this subject. Blackberries, or the juice of blackberries helps stop the
runs and cools the stomach. My Grandmother's cure never known to fail.

contain opium?

Yes, paregoric is still an opiate derivative. Earlier this year I got a
prescription from my dentist. Kills a toothache almost instantly.
