Keolin Poultices for coughs and colds. At night-time my Grandma used to boil the tin of keolin in a pan, when hot she'd get a knife and scrape it on to a cloth then put it on my chest. In the night it dried to a horrible 'cracking' mess of what I can only describe as crumbling concrete. Did it work? I don't know, I've forgotten but she did it often so it must have.
