[Margaret Pilkington]

I remember Fiery jack........one of my brothers( I won't name him) put some on our cats bottom and laughed when the poor cat was dragging its burning bum along the cold lino in the kitchen and running round like....well, like its bum was on fire.

My dad used to use a belladona plaster for backache...or Thermogene......an orange cotton wool type stuff........I think you positioned it where the pain was and put your vest on over the top and tucked it in tight........I can't imagine this stuff stayed in place very well.

Margaret, aren't there different grades of Tiger Balm?
