And I have been prescribed belladonna ....

When I was a kid I used to get given 'Neutradonna' for tummy ache. A
coarse white powder with a distinctive taste, slightly pepperminty
IIRC, a teaspoonful of which you stirred in water and swilled down in
one gulp before it settled out in the tumbler.


I seem to remember something equally disgusting for upset stomach
Kaoline and Morphine! again had a sort of peppermint taste
