My grandmother says it. Makes no sense.
Makes perfect sense since you know about the patent medicine company that sold Carter's Little Liver Pills until the 1960s when they were forced to change the name due to the fact that the snake oil didn't actually have anything to do with the liver. It was a very heavily advertised product in rural areas, especially the south. Carter’s Little Liver Pills - Picture - MSN Encarta
