REPORT

I was 6 months old with a bad upper respiratory infection! My godmother went to town and got 'save the baby'. I was told it saved my life! Wish I could get it somewhere again! I am now grown up but have asthma and still get respiratory infections.

One of the fondest memories of my childhood was when my mother would rub warmed Save the Baby on my chest and cover it with a piece of flannel. No matter how miserable you were, it always made you feel better. I never heard of swallowing it though. I wish this product was still available!

What web site do you get it from? I used it on my children 40 years ago and would love to have it for my grandchildren.

This was what we used on our babies in the 80's as bug repellent-- best stuff ever. Liquid in the glass bottle

This has all the information on Save The Baby. I get goosebumps just remembering the taste! We should have never ingested this medicine! Unsafe. Caused seizures and death and has been linked to liver damage.

Good times back in 70's LOL!

The reason the FDA banned it was it determined camphor unsafe to take orally and I guess some people used it that way. Camphor can be used externally as a rub like in Vick’s vapor rub. We always only warmed it and rubbed it on the chest. Worked better than anything else. Wish it was still made for external use only.

BTW you can buy Dutchman’s Save The Baby out of Iowa. I just ordered some.
