COMMENTS - Dr.
Clarke referred to the old fashioned gunpowder that was in use before the era of high
explosives and smokeless powder.
Black gunpowder is a m ixture and not a chemical compound.
It contains
three remedies, two of them polycrests.
Gunpowder
Nitre with sulphur and charcoal forms gunpowder.
A teaspoonful of this in hot water was a favorite remedy for
gonorrhea among soldiers when black powder was used.
In the lower triturations, gunpowder has cured
ascarides in adults.
The London Police Force also knew it as a boil remedy.
“Get six -penny worth of gunpowder from an oil store
and take as much as would lie on a sixpence night and morning for four days and then leave it off for the same
time and resume if necessary” is one such prescription.
Canon Roland Upcher noted that Norfolk shepherds rubbed gunpowder onto the sheep's wounds made during
sheep-shearing, and took it to cure or prevent ill effects from handling sheep who suffered from “foot -rot.”
Upcher published cases of skin eruption mistaken fo r scabies, actually caused by handling ivy.
