That was it !! Thought was potassium summat .. seems used for athlete's foot and fungal infections ! No good for Magpie's sore back though ..

Do remember we had nip bone though .. bit like nettles without the sting.
Can't remember whether it worked though .. probably the warm water was the most soothing for a sprained ankle or one of the broken bones I used to obtain on a regular basis.
