AdamSmith Posted August 8, 2013 Posted August 8, 2013 DP was probably my favorite member of the Algonquin Round Table. My mother actually used paregoric on my gums when I was teething. When Andre and I stayed at the Algonquin once, I enjoyed cracking him up at inappropriate times with La Parker's witticisms. The hallways there are today wallpapered with quotations from the Roundtable regulars. My mother gave me paregoric when I was little for stomach pains. I am amazed in hindsight that I did not manufacture fake tummy aches all the time. In fact that very bottle resides in her medicine chest still, with a few drops left. Hmm... Quote
