One ointment boasted that it could cure "ague in the face, swelled breasts, sore nipples, bronchitis, sore throats, quinsy, croup, felons, ringworms, burns, scalds, shingles, erysipelas, salt rheum, piles, inflammation of the eyes and bowels, bruises, fresh cut wounds, bilious cholic, scrofulous and milk-leg sores, inflammatory rheumatism and gout."
