An interesting question, that prompted interesting answers, I like it. I think perhaps the pink stuff would have been Germoline? Mother legged it when I was three years old, but I can recall some of dear old Dad's solutions. Toothache: Head over kitchen sink, pliers attached to the offending tooth, hard tug, much wailing and blood, and if I was lucky, 1d (a penny) for me. Bumps & bruises: A dab of Echo margarine on offending wound, a slap around the head and being told "Not to be a sissy" if I cried. (This applied to all medical practise's carried out by Dad) Stomach Ache: Forced intake of Bicarbonate of soda. Boils and the like: A wait until it developed enough, then a squeeze from the strong hands of Dad, and a look at whatever had come out in the rag. Coughs & Sneezes: These were considered a normal part of life by Dad, but he did allow me to gargle with salted water. Diarrhoea and Vomiting: I was restricted to the area near the sink (the toilet was outside 50 yards across the yard) to catch any emissions, and a threat of what would happen to me if I did not clean up any mess made. The Guzzunder was kept nearby at night. Head Lice (Nits): The school nurse would put on some purple liquid, which in turn advised all of your mates of your condition, and kept them away from you. Insect Bites and Stings: A harsh rubbing into the area with coarse salt by Dad. Black Eyes: These were considered a sign to Dad that I was incapable of defending myself, and he would say: "You deserve the pain, and shame of others seeing it" - He would then get my boxing gloves and show my what I should have done. (More pain and humiliation) Apart from the toothache solution, (mind you I have few teeth left now) I'm unsure if they were effective or not.

what ailments is zincum metallicum used for .?

Answer 4

Liquifruta for coughs as you could buy it over the counter,doctors cost money to make housecalls in those days & were only called for really serious ailments.Calamine lotion for all stings or bites & even to take itch out of chicken pox spots,not a good look when on your face as you not only had the pox spots but also the calamine dried in white splodges on the skin too.I did not end up with any chicken pox scars though so that must have worked.I think Germolene pink smelly ointment in tins was around so you stank of that if used on grazes etc.Iodine neat on some cuts,I remember the sting of that.If we had splinters we had to keep dipping the affected part in very hot water with iodine in it to make the splinter swell & pop out,that did work.We always had a small tin of Tiger Balm but can't remember what it was used for but loved the smell & think you can still get it.Oil of cloves for toothache,another stinky remedy,still used by some.I was such a tomboy that I always had cuts & grazes,got bitten by every insect going & was allergic to any acidic fruit such as rhubabrb or gooseberries so often had spots all over associated with that & seem to have spent a lot of time covered with several of these remedies & must have smelled delightful !
