Flax was used in the growing textile industry and Blackburn "Cotton Town" was a major user in the industry. <img src="https://huntroyd.co.uk/files/square_thumbnails/skull.jpg " alt="alt text on image " style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="any" height="any" />Adding Laudanum to the relatively harmless Starch Clyster makes it a dangerous poison.      Central to the treatment of unbalanced humours was the use of herbs. Specific herbs were used to treat all ailments simple, common and complex etc., from an uncomplicated upper respiratory infection to the plague. For example, chamomile was used to decrease heat, and lower excessive bile humour.       Eighteenth-century practices such as bleeding a sick person or applying hot cups to a person were, in fact, based on the humoural theory of imbalances of fluids (blood and bile in those cases).      Of course Huntroyd would have had a substantial herb garden to provide the ingredients. <img src="https://huntroyd.co.uk/files/square_thumbnails/skull.jpg " alt="alt text on image " style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="any" height="any" />Turpentine is poisonous so this medicine is not recommended in spite of modern quacks saying it can be used. Gravel is a disease characterised by small stones which are formed in the kidneys, passed along the ureters to the bladder, and expelled with the urine.
