Born in 1972 I remember when growing up we would be given a spoonful of Virol and a Halib Orange tablet. The halib orange was vitamin C I think and perfectly acceptable, like a sharp orange Smartie. The Virol though I used to love! But what on earth was it? From memory it was a bit like that malt syrupy stuff - I can almost taste it now. The only reference I found was as a bone marrow preparation, which sounds distinctly Victorian rather than '70's!! Nobody else seems to remember it.
