We didn't take it but other kids we knew did. I remember tasting it. It was a lemon flavored sweet syrup. -Ken BRINKERHOFF ('61) **************************************************************** **************************************************************** >>From: Mary RAY Henslee ('61) I just wanted to share my recently updated Author Page and the fact that my books exist with anyone who may have missed my last posting. The Author Page on Amazon.com includes a link to each book page, a message to readers, and a photo. Each book page allows you to read part of that particular book by simply clicking on the book cover with the words Look Inside above it. http://www.amazon.com/Mary-Henslee/e/B00HL2N0C0/ref=ntt_dp_epwbk_0 To each of you and your cherished ones, happy holidays! -Mary RAY Henslee ('61) **************************************************************** **************************************************************** >>From: Lyndy WHEELER Myers ('62) Re: Tim's vitamins It was called Vi-Daylin and it was a translucent color with a brown base but in some light it looked yellow even going so far as to look purplish. If you went to Dr. Baugher or Dr. McCartney you took it. I liked it but Toby ('65/'66) and Paige ('65) hated it. I tried to sneak theirs when our mom wasn't looking. I still like weird tasting things. Greetings to everyone from sunny Florida it is supposed to be 83° today. -Lyndy WHEELER Myers ('62) **************************************************************** **************************************************************** >>From: Donna NELSON ('63) Yes I remember a yellow syrupy liquid now. I don't know if it was a prescription vitamin. I needed a blood transfusion at age 3 because of pneumonia and Dr. Albertowicz had AB negative so after that my Mom was careful to make sure I got vitamins and iron. Yes, I guess at restaurants it was chicken livers for me and at home she cooked bacon, onions and beef liver to build my iron. I can still remember the smell of that syrup... I know I liked it well enough to sneak a sip or 2 extra:-) -Donna NELSON ('63) **************************************************************** **************************************************************** >>From: Jim ARMSTRONG ('63) Re: Vitamins To: Tim SMYTH ('62) Hey Tim. My mother gave me Homocebrin from Eli Lilly. It was yellowish in color and tasted pretty good. Regards, "Pitts" -Jim "Pitts" ARMSTRONG ('63) **************************************************************** **************************************************************** >>From: Karen KLEINPETER Kroger ('63) Re: Vitamin supplement To: Tim SMYTH ('62) and Maren SMYTH ('63 & '64) My sister and I had to take some, too. I remember it being sort of iridescent, green and yellow. Ours was called Vidaylin. That's probably not the correct spelling though. It was sweet and thickish. Were we all taking the same thing? [I'm SURE we were, Karen... all the same stuff... -Maren] -Karen KLEINPETER Kroger ('63) **************************************************************** **************************************************************** >>From: Carol CONVERSE Maurer (Magic Class of '64) To: Tim SMYTH ('62) I was just telling my husband about some stuff that my mom gave me that was dark brown and tasted just terrible! For the life of me, I couldn't remember the name of it. I can actually see in my mind's eye one time being in the bathroom and her giving it to me. It's the same stuff that was thought that pregnant women would start labor if taken. Of course, this is when you were at your due date or beyond. Don't know if it really worked or not. I never minded taking that stuff though, even with the yucky taste. The name if on the tip of my tongue. -Carol CONVERSE Maurer (Magic Class of '64) ~ Kennewick still in the 20s for a high with no snow in sight. **************************************************************** **************************************************************** >>From: Judy CAMPBELL ('64) To: Tim SMYTH ('62) and Maren ('63 & '64) The vitamin syrup that Mom gave Duke ('61) and me was Vidaylin (not sure about the spelling.) I loved it and used to climb up the cupboards to sneak an extra spoonful! -Judy CAMPBELL ('64) **************************************************************** **************************************************************** >>From: Linda REINING ('64) To: Tim SMYTH ('62) Re: Syrupy - type vitamin My mom also made my brother and I take it... if it is the same one, it was called, "Vi-Daylin" and it had a strong cod liver oil smell... they still make it, you can find it at Walgreen's. it is recommended for infants and children. I remember it being a yellow color. -Linda REINING ('64) ~ rained and melted all the snow in Kuna, ID so now we have freezing rain and icy roads **************************************************************** **************************************************************** >>From: Patti McLAUGHLIN Cleavenger ('65) Re: Miss Koss (RIP) I attended Miss Koss' burial service in the Resthaven Cemetery on Williams. I visit her grave every now and then. She is buried at the foot of a large tree - fitting, since I remember most her teaching us how to draw trees. -Patti McLAUGHLIN Cleavenger ('65) **************************************************************** **************************************************************** >>From: Toby WHEELER Davis ('65/'66) Maren, All of the Wheeler kids consumed this vitamin syrup every day too. I think it's called Homocebrin, but we called it something else (Vegesyrup). We all loved it and would 'lie' to our Mom when she asked if she had already given us a dose for the day... anything to get MORE of it. I remember it as being in a dark brown glass bottle, and the syrup was more of the golden yellow color, consistency of molasses. I believe it was 'expensive' and one time Lyndy ('62 - I remember it as being Lyndy... not me) went to the drugstore to pick up a bottle, put it in her bicycle basket, and then dropped it on the way into the house!) I remember this as being a really big tragedy! Lots of yelling involved. :-) Vi-dalyn That's it!!!! -Toby WHEELER Davis ('65/'66) **************************************************************** **************************************************************** >>From: Pam EHINGER Edinger (Blue Ribbon Class of '67) Re: Liquid Vitamins I called my Mom to see if she would remember what it was that she gave us as kids. I'm with you, Maren, we took a yellow liquid that tasted good! At any rate, (Mom is 88 & going strong) Momma couldn't remember the name either! I just remember a brown bottle it was round shaped and a thick yellow liquid in it. Like I said it tasted pretty good too! Sorry no name though!
