There were several patent medicines in the States which were sold as soft drinks with lots of iron and stuff in them. Some of the stuff was alcohol, lots of caffeine, opium, cocaine, and so on. Most of them were regulated out of existence (and good riddance!) by 1930, but some still survive in much "weakened" states. Good old Geritol was/is one such.

Never tried it, don't know where to get any, don't want to try it. I'm not the Irn Mon type -- I can't hardly cleave a stone with a claymore any more.
