      Wait though! It may have had some of the same ingredients though, including belladonna!

      There’s a Facebook post I found from nearly ten years ago that lists a few things.

      • up to 15% alcohol
      • sodium salicylate, which is what aspirin is derived from (hence the name)
      • Cascara (laxative herb)
      • a small amount of mydriatic alkaloids, probably from belladonna
      • Menthol
