Interesting research on "Dr. D. Jaynes Expectorant... - 12/23/2005 8:01:03 PM    Yooper14 Posts: 313 Joined: 4/25/2005 From: Ohio Status: offline Boy, I had a good lesson this evening in "research is where you find it, but not always where you expect it." I had recently found a "Dr. D. Jayne's Expectorant" bottle. Neat little aqua bottle (pictured below). I did not know what "expectorant" meant. Of course I could have looked it up, or I could have asked the professionals here on the forums, but I just stacked it on my shelf. Well, tonight I had yanked an old compilation of Time magazines from the 50s just for some fun reading, and I came across this little blurb: Time Magazine, April 5, 1954 - "Chewing Tobacco decline (production down 29% in nine years) is the fault of the automobile, says EA Darr, president of RJ Reynolds Tobacco Co. 'In the horse & buggy days, a fellow could chew and expectorate safely. Not any more!'" Ha ha...funny in and of itself, but then I realized; "OH!" Expectorate must mean spit! I looked it up, and sure enough. Dr. D. Jaynes Barfing Compound! Anyone else ever had any insight like this when they weren't expecting (no pun) it?

You can still go to the drug store and buy expectorants off the shelf. It may of been one of the few medicines of the age that actually worked as advertised. < Message edited by GuntherHess -- 12/23/2005 9:09:25 PM > _____________________________ Looking for Frederick Maryland and Dr Fahrney Bottles 2008 Medicine Bottle Price Guide on CDROM http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/BottleBook2008.htm email http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/email.jpg (in reply to Yooper14) Post #: 2
