aj Dock Boggs - ethamotel/ethermotor drops (9) Dock Boggs 30 Jun 97

On a 1970 album, Dock Boggs - Vol 3 (produced by Mike Seeger) is a tune called "I Hope I Live a Few More Days". Dock hand wrote the lyrics that are in the liner notes. They go..

"I hope I'll live a few more days,
and God will give me grace,
I'll buy me a bottle of ethamotel drops, *********
to wash your deceitful face,

I will come in but I won't sit down,
for I haven't hardly time,
I truly understand you love another one,
Sweet heart no longer mine.

Does anyone know for sure what ethamotel drops are ?

Your help is certainly appreciated.

Thanks. Alan
