Boynton's Adhesive Plaster
Product Description
This recipe is taken directly from the book, "Lee's Priceless Recipes: 3000 Secrets for the Home, Farm, Laboratory, Workshop and Every Department of Human Endeavor" by Dr. N.T. Oliver. Published in Chicago by Laird & Lee, Publishers. Circa 1895.
-----------
Boynton's Adhesive Plaster.
Yellow resin 1 ounce, lead plaster 1 pound: melted together. Recommended for bad legs and other like affections.
-----------
Note: Lead - Bad! I think that what this remedy is telling us is that the resin is melted against a formed lead-weighted plaster. Many of us know about the sand-filled bags that we can strap around our ankles and wrists to add a little resistance exercise to our everyday movements. I think is the same idea! Exercise is good! Adhering lead to our skin is bad!
