    Tastes like straight DEATH….works tho
    Have a chaser IMMEDIATELY at the ready. This is thick and disgusting! But my lord if this doesn’t work! Knocked out serious cold in 2 people in my household in 2 days with noticeable improvement after 1st day. Gave the sickness eviction notice expeditiously.

    Father Faithful- Great Cough Compressor
    I proud to say thank Amazon. This is a childhood favorite and it will compress’s all hard coughs. Yes, it has a smooth, thick and hard core chocolate taste but IT Works. FYI- hold your nose then swallow and drink orange to help with the taste. 😎😝

    Old School Cough Medicine Still Works!!!
    There is something about going back to old school remedies….THEY WORK!!!! I can’t say enough great things about this product. I tried Father John’s based on a recommendation from a friend. Due to this crazy cold/flu season, I had a terrible cough for months that I was not able to shake, enough though I was under doctor’s care. I was tired of being sick and I decided to try this since I had tried and been prescribed almost everything else. I took Father John’s along with homemade hot lemon tea (boiled water and fresh lemons) with fresh ginger and garlic for 3-5 days and let’s just say, my terrible cough is gone and I feel 100% better. My mom said that she use to give this to us as kids and it definitely still works.I will forewarn you, the syrup is thick (think molasses), brown and taste like black licorice, but the taste is bearable. I was desperate to get rid of my cough so I was willing to deal with the taste. I just drank a little water and gargled with mouthwash right after it.I love the simple ingredients (cough suppressant, cod liver oil, sugar, licorice). I love that it is non-drowsy and that cod liver oil has some great benefits for the body.I will definitely keep this in my medicine cabinet.

    Great Cough Medicine! An oldy but goody!
    Wow! I am taking Father John again! I had the beginning of a head cold and happened to come upon Father John on Amazon. About 60 yrs ago, my Father would put all of us in line for our weekly dose of Father John for the winter. A tablespoon of F J folloed by an orange slice. Today this cough med taste sooo much better. Yes it is thick, yes it is cod liver oil, yes it taste like licorice, yes it had an after but it works. My fever disappeared after 2 doses; my headache went, I get headache about every 3 yrs! The packaging was great no leakage from bottle. The arrival was as described. The licorice taste was tolerable not gaggy! F John aided in eliminating mucous and sore throat. Will purchase again! Told church friends about the swift healing fron Father John. Thanks Amazon!!!!!
