I think you could treat just about anything from a cough to an ingrown toenail to a piss poor attitude with that fine product. The warning they need is “Go to bed first, then take this medicine.”
Second: Indica’s effects can be easily remembered with the phrase “in-da-couch” — ‘cuz that’s where you’ll be stuck ’til you come down! (Still want, plz-n-thx) This effect is called “couch lock”.

Each one-ounce dose contains 4.25 meters of alcohol, and even more marijuahoochie?
In this case “m” refers to minim, 1/480 of a fluid ounce (61.611519921875 microliters)

I think chloroform would be the only drug that would necessitate being in bed before taking this otherwise wonderfully formulated cough syrup. The morphine would likely just make one feel really nice at first before eventually causing sedation. And it’s a hell of a cough suppressant. The does of alcohol and cannabis are too small to produce much of an additive effect.
If they removed the chloroform and replaced it with dextroamphetamine and LSD though, I’d be more than willing to try it!

Chloroform and morphine are obvious anesthetics. I’m a little surprised by indica, maybe just a recreational supplement?
While Pinkham is much more famous now, the 1906 Collier’s exposé had much more to say about ‘Peruna.’ Mostly alcohol, though the name implies cocaine. The stuff seems to have been even more notorious at the time.

Didn’t Beyer once offer a cough medicine based on their wonder drug, Heroin?

They seem to have left off: “Do not operate heavy machinery while using this. ”
But at least the ingredients have been “skillfully combined.” That’s a relief.

Well they didn’t need it, did they – the patient would be comatose before managing to get the key into the ignition.

What are the ‘other ingredients’ ?
It’s interesting that of all the drugs listed, only alcohol is currently readily available in the West.

It’s called “One Night” because there’s no awakening, yes?
However, nothing tops the Doramad Radioactive Toothpaste: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doramad_Radioactive_Toothpaste

“And when we say ‘go to bed first’ we mean seriously – GET IN THE BED FIRST.'”
