Now historical.

A liquid medicinal preparation of uncertain composition, used in the treatment of a wide variety of disorders. Also Dr. Goddard's drops.The chief component of Goddard's drops appears to have been a distillate of some organic material, by some said to be raw silk and by others human or animal bone. Originally the preparation was a respected medicine (cf. quot. 1696), but it later came to be regarded as the type of a nostrum or quack remedy.
