Re: Do you remember old remedies bought from the chemist

the Methodist church I referred to Retlaw was the Wesley Methodist Church in nearby Spring Gardens.

I remember getting Locust beans in Lucky bags when I was a little girl......I liked them then......but tried them in Spain many years later and found them to taste horrible.
They feed them to the livestock in Spain.
They are also known as Carob beans and are used in the manufacture of ersatz chocolate.
