Anyone who needs a remedy for 'Curing Scalding or Fire' then just ask Aidan Jones of this list. I'm referring to another fascinating contribution by him in the latest CGN FHS journal, this time in the form of an extract from the farm account book c 1847 of Jenkin Jones, latterly of Tregaron. BTW, one of the essential ingredients is 2 handfuls of sheep dung, which I can readily provide from my daily wanderings on the local Dartmoor downs :-) Gareth List administrator for DYFED, CGN & PEM Genuki Wales http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/wal/ Lookup Exchange http://home.clara.net/tirbach/lookup.html Help Page http://home.clara.net/tirbach/hicks.html .
