Rick!---ever hear of Chapman salve?--------it was big around here in the 1800s---for horses--humans-----drawing salve.--------------------Fred.

Hi Fred,...Hi Rick,...Hi everyone!,...Let's go diggin' soon![] I'm not sure if this was the same stuff or not, but this particular tin belonged to my Grandmother who was born in 1901,....I'm not sure how old this example of the stuff is is, I know it still works,.... but I always remember drawing salve, (or Black Salve) being in the medicine cabinet, but it was mostly made around here by the Seneca Indians..... Thanks for reminding me about it.....Rick,...nice bottles.
