Reminds me of some cubes (to be mixed with boiling water and drunk) that my father found in Chinatown many years ago. I think they were called Dr. Lamb’s something or other, and the enclosed information had an absurdly long and varied list of ailments that it claimed to help or cure, including “the plague”. We actually tried it and in fact I think my father continued to drink it occasionally, despite the fact that it basically just tasted sweet.
