[QUOTE=dotti34;1242576]More things that come to mind. Liberty bodices (don’t ask!), camphor square hung round neck, Fennings Fever Cure, Malt and Cod Liver Oil, Cod Liver Oil on its own – yuk!, thick pink square of some sort of padding (can’t remember what it was called) held against chest by the liberty bodice, so many things to ward off colds – but I still got them……

The pad or thick rag that you refer to was smeared thickly with hot "Kaolin" clay,
the whole cabodle,(not spelt right, I know),was known as a kaolin Poultice, I suffered many of them as a youngster.
Malt extract I used to love.
