[greenlands]

While the weathers having fun,back garden flooded very cold and great for ducks i've been sorting through some papers that wanted binned years ago and came across this tonic.Have any of you ever used it goodness knows how old it is.

Tuesday and Thursday.

20 drops of medicinal creosote.

1/4 oz.sulphate of iron.

2 oz.sulphate of magnesia.

4 oz.sulphate of soda.

1 tablespoon salt.

4 pints of water.

Bring water to the boil add all the ingredients and simmer for a couple of minutes,bottle when cool.

add one egg cup full to 5 pints twice a week.

I've never used it so don't know what it's like good or bad.Probably made in the days when tonics were not available over the counter.

very interesting - I found this

 

It has been identified by Dr. Paul Wolf, 2001, that Napoleon Bonaparte could have won the Battle of Waterloo by attacking earlier in the day, but Napoleon Bonaparte delayed his attack because he suffered greatly from hemroid pain that morning. By the time the afternoon came, the weather and so on, advantaged the British.

 

Napoleon Bonaparte suffered greatly from hemroid pain during many of his battles, as the tension of battle apparently caused his sphincter muscles to tighten horrendously on his hemroids, thereby generating massive pain and discomfort for him.

 

Napoleon Bonaparte used bathing to help control his hemroid pain, but during the battle of Waterloo he was constipated which made his discomfort and possibly his pain much worse, and so he left the battlefield, left his army in the command of a subordinate, and sat in a bath to ease his miserable state, then went back to the battlefield later in the day, resumed his command, and then he lost the war.

 

An interesting bit of hemroid history there, one I think many of us can understand and sympathize with!
