Apart from Chronic Bronchitis and numerous colds the only other illness I had was Measles.
I was forced to wear a liberty bodice. Used to hate the dam thing.
I was smothered in goose grease, my how that stank. If no goose grease then it was vinegar n brown paper.
My nan would shove a peeled raw onion under my bed.
When I got a bit older it was was Vick an vaseline under the nose. I love the smell but Mick hates it.
For sprain es it would be brewed comfrey leaves.
The magic ointment was germaline.
