OTC medicines.  It was January 1977.  I can still remember it clearly.  The first thing I realized when my husband and I got married was that our medicine cabinet in the bathroom had empty shelves.  All of my unmarried life I had taken this for granted.  My mom always had OTC medicines in the bathroom.  Something for headaches or body aches and pains like aspirin or Tylenol, something for upset stomach or diarrhea (like Pepto Bismol), a cough syrup (like Robitussin), something for flu-like symptoms (such as Nyquill), ointment for itching, scrapes or burns, etc. I immediately went to the drugstore and bought OTC medicines to fill my medicine cabinet, just like mom.  :D
