Can Stores Sell Alcohol Based Substances As Remedies?

I was recently in a large chain store and I noticed that -in their pharmacy section- they were selling this bottle of liquor as a "stomach remedy." I was wondering if this is legal, as I live in Canada where stores are generally not permitted to sell alcoholic things. Can somebody just explain this to me? Also, if this is being sold, can it be sold to minors, as a remedy?

    Vick's Nyquil is a popular alcohol based cold and flu remedy sold in many stores in the USA. I believe that Vick's Nyquil may be available in Canada as well. I believe that it can be purchase by minors but that may vary from state to state.
