Folks: Forgive the intrusion, but someone posted a request for information about "old remedies" (from my grandfather's time) mentioned in my email and I cannot recall the person or the message so I am answering it by sending this message to everyone. My point was that because of the attention to ghetto merchandising, there are usually over-the-counter remedies like black salve, oil of wintergreen, liniments, soaps, coal-tar shampoos and the like that no one sees anymore anywhere. They seem to go hand-in-hand with bleaching creams and old-fashioned hair straightening products. Even Lydia Pinkham powder or pills and Doan's pills pop up on the shelves. How do the stores get this stuff? Well, one way would be to buy job-lots of discontinued products or off-brands. It's super cheap and appears to be responsive to the neighborhood the store purports to serve at the same time.

They are over-priced and geared to low-end merchandizing. A typical ghetto enterprise, if you will. On the positive side, you may even find some old remedies that may be familiar from your grandparents' time.
