An Improved Ointment or Salve.
Year: 1896

page_text: An Improved Ointment or Salve.
I, WILLIAM BLEWITT of Bilson Green, Cinderford, in the County of Gloucester,
Collier, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to an improved ointment or salve for use upon horses, sheep
and other animals for the cure of foot-rot, strangles, chipped or broken knees, grazes,
sprains, bruises, sores upon the shoulders or withers and other parts, or other injury
of a like nature, and for promoting the re-growth of hair upon such affected places
when healed, without injury to the skin or flesh. The said ointment or salve may
also be used upon animals for assisting to dry up the milk after the taking away of
their young, and for dispersing lumps, mud-rash, mange and the like.
My invention may also be employed with perfect safety as an outward application
upon human beings for the cure of ringworm, mumps, chilblains and the like, and
for the relief of tired or tender feet, sore-throat, local pains such as sciatica, lumbago,
neuralgia and the like, and chest affections, and for dispersing warts, housemaids
knees and the like, and for healings scalds, burns, and the like and reducing inflam-
mation therein.
For general use I prefer to provide the said ointment or salve by compounding
the followings ingredients in the proportions stated or thereabouts, but I reserve to
myself the right to vary the said proportions within reasonable limits as occasion
may require.
To one pound (or thereabouts) of hogs lard or other clarified fat, I add one
quarter of a pound (or thereabouts) of butter of antimony, one quarter of a pound
(or thereabouts) of venus or crude turpentine, one quarter of a pound (or thereabouts)
of a compound known as friars balsam, two ounces (or thereabouts) of spirits of
turpentine, and a quarter of a pound (or thereabouts) of a compound known as
green ointinent.
I find that the most convenient way to prepare the above compound, is to first
liquify the fatty substances by the application of heat, and then add the remainder,
the whole being kept well agitated until cold, when it is ready for use.

I, WILLIAM BLEWITT of Bilson Green, Cinderford, in the County of Gloucester,
Collier do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the
same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement :-
My invention relates to an improved ointment or salve for use upon horses she p

page_text: and other animals for the cure of foot-rot, strangles, chipped or broken knees, grazes,
sprains, bruises, sores upon the shoulders or withers and other parts, or other injury
or complaint of a like nature, and which may also be employed for promoting or
inducing the growth of hair upon such affected or diseased places when healed,
without injuring the skin or flesh. The said ointment or salve may also be used upon
all mammalian animals for assisting to dry up the milk after the taking away of their
young, and for dispersing or scattering lumps, mud-rash, mange and the like.
My said improved ointment or salve may also be employed with perfect safety, as
an outward application, upon human beings for the cure of ringworm, mumps, chil-
blains and the like, and for the relief of tired or tender feet, sore-throat, and local
pains such as sciatica, lumbago, neuralgia and the like, and for chest and lung affections,
and for dispersing warts, housemaids-knees and the like, and in the treatment of
scalds, burns and the like and reducing inflammation therein.
For animal use I prefer to provide the said ointment or salve by compounding the
following ingredients in the proportions hereinafter stated or thereabouts, but for
human use I may find it convenient or desirable to slightly modify the formula given
so as to reduce the pungency or strength of the same, and I reserve to myself the
right to vary the said formula, within reasonable limits as occasion may require, for
this purpose.
To one pound or thereabouts of hog's lard or other clarified fat, I add a quarter of
a pound or thereabouts of a compound known as green ointment, (these being for
softening purposes) and to these I add (for penetrating purposes) a quarter of a
pound or thereabouts of butter of antimony, and (for drawing purposes) a quarter
of a pound or thereabouts of venus or crude turpentine, and (for healing purposes)
a quarter of a pound or thereabouts of a compound known as friars balsam, and
(for seasoning purposes) two ounces or thereabouts of spirits of turpentine.
I find that the most convenient way to prepare the above compound is to first
liquify the fatty substances named by the application of heat, and while in this condition
to add thereto the remaining ingredients, the whole being kept well stirred and
agitated until cold, when the whole is ready for use for the purposes stated.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is.
In an improved ointment or salve for the purposes set forth, the herein described
combination of ingredients in the proportions stated or thereabouts, and the use of
same as an outward application upon animals and human beings substantially as herein
set forth
ated this 81st day of October 1996.
