[QUOTE="Pink Elephant, post: 734261, member: 21572"] The Chicken Pox parties sound like fun! We never had them, but I remember dealing with the Pox when my kids were little, and what a nightmare it was. Trying to keep them from scratching was near impossible. When we kids were sick and coughing, strong homemade wine was warmed and served. Not a large quantity by any means, but a small glass full. That was standard practice in our house back in the day. Probably a whole lot of other houses, too. I seem to remember something about cigarette smoke, and how when blown in a child's ear helped soothe an ache. I never had it done to me nor did I ever try it with any of my kids, but I do remember the remedy. [/QUOTE]
