My mother used to take an combination of coke cola and spirits of ammonia. It was maybe 4 drops of the spirits of ammonia in a coke glass and drink. I now use it when feeling upset beyond control. I told a doctor about it the other day and she had never heard of it.

Yes used it myself often as a child as did all my family Coach used to give it to use while at summer practice and ball games in the south Central Va. Gets very very hot and humid , I recall being 10 to 12 and going to the local drugstore and ordering it as you described
My mother n I used to order it at Purcell's drug store counter. It cools your body down so we drank it when we worked in the textile industry also
Awesome stuff, used it for severe headaches, works like a charm !!!
I use it for my nerves. My OBGYN told me about it 24 years ago when I was pregnant with my first child and my nerves were shot. He told me to put a few ddrops in soda and sip on it to calm me down.

When I was a kid in the fifties,my brother had asthma and coke with sprits of ammonia was used as an emergency treatment. I don't know if it really worked or it made you think it was! But it did seem to be the cure-all for a lot of things.Then again I overheard my mom telling my father that a friend of hers was taking "amino acids" that was called amphetamine.
