Fennings fever cure, set your teeth on edge..
Remember Fennings little healers as well?
One bloke who worked at Johnpit wi' me, they used to say "There's more work in a beechams powder"
Another who took Doans backache & kidney pills regularly.
When he was under the shower in't pit baths, he might have a pee, & it was bright green..
Used to love cod liver oil & malt tho' & California syrup o'figs
Olive oil in yer ear'ole.
Knitbone poultices for bumps & bruises..Still have plenty o'that..
Sugar & soap poultices, for drawin' boils
One thing you never hear about these days, for babies...
