Don't forget there were 2 pain reliever groups. BEX as well as the Vincents. Certain people I knew almost went to war over arguing which was better for you. Well, much has changed since then, maybe?

Yes, we had one in a metal carry case. I used to like looking through it at all the little bottles and packages. Most of the time my dad just went for the good old metho to put on everything!

My Mum used to have Condy's Crystals in the Cupboard and put in our bath and turn the water purple.
