The above wash has very strong recommendations as a local application. It
was secured from a family that had used it at different times for twenty
years. The family seemed to be susceptible to erysipelas and this medicine
had been used for three generations, grandfather, son and grandson. In
fact, it was the only remedy that helped their case, although many others
had been tried. The entire prescription would cost about fifteen cents.
