Mga Istoryang Sinauna: Mistaken Identity

Minsan, sumakit ang tiyan ng Mama Lucas. Mama Lucas was the cousin (I think) of my Inkong, my lolo on the paternal side. So there, masakit nga tiyan nya, and he went to ask for some medicine from my Impo, my lola on the paternal side.

Impo: O, heto ang Paregoric*, inumin mo.
Mama Lucas: [started to drink the medicine] Ano ba ito, ang sama ng lasa!!! Ayoko na nyan.
Impo: Napaka-DUWAG mo naman. Paregoric lang 'yan, nagkakaganyan ka!
Mama Lucas: [ngiwing-ngiwi ang mukha] Gumuguhit sa lalamunan eh. Napakapait pa! Sigurado ka bang Paregoric yan?
Impo: [checking the bottle] Aaaay, Ap-Ap solution** pala.


♥♥♥



 *Paregoric: camphorated tincture of opium, used as an antidiarrheal and antitussive and for analgesic purposes.

From: The Herb Museum
 


**Ap-Ap solution: a solution made of salicylic acid(!!!), benzoic acid, and resorcinol for an-an (tinea). Kaya naman pala gumuguhit sa lalamunan...

 PS
Patay na ang Mama Lucas.
No, hindi yung Ap-Ap solution ang dahilan.

I'd love to hear from you, good or bad. And remember, if you can dish it, you better be able to take it!
