    Share Share Post
    My father has a cure for rheumatism
    These are the ingredients:-
    1/2 oz. Powdered Nitre.
    1/2 oz. Rhubarb
    1/2 oz. Flowers of Sulphur.
    1/2 oz. Guaiacum.
    Rob Shaw who live's about a mile from us gave him the prescription. My father has not got it made up yet so I do not know if it is any good.
