Lion Ointment 60g

Product Information

Going through the above I remembered a couple of ointments from my childhood that worked wonders on all sorts of skin injuries / irritations / infections. Burgess's Lion Ointment and Zam-Buk. Googled them and the only place I could find the Lion Ointment was Feathergills Apothecary in Hebden Bridge. They also did Zam-Buk. Used the Zam-Buk on the surviving pink patches and it's shifted them in little more than 24 hours. Got me thinking. How many other reliable old remedies that pharmacists used to routinely provide are no longer widely available or available at all. We're losing something there and the NHS is footing the bill for often less effective alternatives.

This product was first sold in 1847 by the partnership of a doctor and an Edwin Burgess, a former South London jeweller. They claimed that it would cure “all diseases of the skin (including) tumours, fistulas, shingles and venereal sores ” and that the use of the product would save the need for amputation of limbs. After a few years the doctor left the partnership and the business was developed by Edwin into a thriving concern selling the ointment, and a new line in Lion Brand pills, to 70 countries!The story alleged that all prisoners died from frost and starvation with later versions indicating that surviving crew members may have resorted to cannibalism to survive. The story was propagated and widely accepted. Today, historians have their doubts about many aspects of the story. However if it was true, this would have been among the worst ship disasters of all time.

The year 1933 for Ireland was a time of change but also of cautious optimism. Fianna Fáil, led by Éamon de Valera, won their first overall majority in Dáil Éireann. Éamon de Valera was welcomed in his own constituency in County Clare where 77 horsemen and 77 torchbearers lit 77 tar barrels in honour of the 77 seats won by the party.Anyway, this caused me remember a couple of ointments from my childhood that worked wonders on all sorts of skin injuries / irritations / infections.

His son (our Edwin) took over the business when the father died of “softening of the brain”. The family business made and sold its products from premises in Grays Inn Road from the 1870s to 1954. It continued to be controlled by members of the family till 1975 when it was taken over by Leo Laboratories. Burgess’ Lion Brand Ointment is still on sale today but using a different recipe to the original which included a form of lead. (Interestingly the use of lead was discontinued when lead was needed for wartime munitions, it was replaced by a zinc product). Otherwise, using magnesium sulphate paste on animals is much the same as using it on humans. This includes the need to change the paste regularly and to take proper hygiene precautions.

Of course you wouldn’t wear it out on a hot date. Oh no, you’d wear it around the house with only your 15 or 16 siblings to laugh at you.

Seriously if we catch any of you wearing this there will be big trouble.

Will you be claiming the VAT back?

But of course, there was a big problem. The Irish Sweepstakes was a privately-run lottery, something that is wildly illegal today. Some money did filter down into the hospitals, this was true. But it was only one tenth of the TOTAL PROFITS. And that ten per cent was divided between all hospitals in Ireland, so the funds actually going to the hospitals was negligible in comparison. All hospitals were prepared to accept money from the sweepstakes, except the Adelaide Hospital, who not only disagreed with the sweepstakes, but also smelled a rat.
