Re: vitamin supplement from the '50s
The stuff I remember was called Vi-Daylin. We didn't take it but
other kids we knew did. I remember tasting it. It was a lemon
flavored sweet syrup.

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.

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:-)

Hey Tim. My mother gave me Homocebrin from Eli Lilly. It was
yellowish in color and tasted pretty good.

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]

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!!!!

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!
