A day that will live in infamy, Dec. 7, 1941

Popular Home Remedies in the '40s for the Common Cold

For past few days I've been fighting off a cold. It's kinda funny (ha ha) or kinda ironic that it's been about 10 days ago that I had a flu shot.... and now I've got aches and pains in my joints, a scratchy throat,...
