Old-timey medicines (6)
I believe the answer is:
tonics
'old-timey medicines' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for tonics that I've seen before include "Medicines or drinks with invigorating effects" , "contents of medicine cupboards" , "Keys" , "Potions to strengthen and invigorate" , "Pick-me-ups" .)
