ELECTROLYTE REPLACEMENT DRINK (GATORADE, POWERADE, PEDIALYTE)
A much better tasting drink. Great to have around for Summer activities and when someone gets ill. Much cheaper too! The salt provides sodium. The orange juice potassium,(both lost in sweat) and the sugar glucose. (carbohydrate for energy)

ELECTROLYTE
My pediatrician gave this to my Mom at least '30-something' years ago. It is supposed to help reduce high fevers, vomiting and settle upset tummies. Gingerale still reminds me of being sick and stuck in bed all day with my comic books.
