Vinegar on a sunburn.
Raw bacon on a bee sting.
Clove oil for a toothache.
Wintergreen oil on a sore muscle.
Hope this helps.
The local witchdoctor?
Barbarians... 😞
The clove oil one works, though. I saw The Marathon Man.

I think most missed my attempt here, I put on that I am so stupid I thought this was an antidote thread. I didn't know antidote was germane to the world of poisons. Should have taken some med classes too I guess.

'Lies' told:

Susan: With tooth fairies? Hogfathers?
Death: Yes. As practice, you have to start out learning to believe the little lies.
Susan: So we can believe the big ones?
Death: Yes. Justice, mercy, duty. That sort of thing.
Susan: They’re not the same at all.
Death: You think so? Then take the universe and grind it down to the finest powder, and sieve it through the finest sieve, and then show me one atom of justice, one molecule of mercy. And yet, you try to act as if there is some ideal order in the world. As if there is some, some rightness in the universe, by which it may be judged.
Susan: But people have got to believe that, or what’s the point?
Death: You need to believe in things that aren’t true. How else can they become?

We were all taught them, be they true are false.
A share would be nice.
I recall 2 specifics.
1. "You'll take somebody's eye out doing that."
(I don't recall seeing a friend with a missing eye due to a mate swinging or prodding).
2. "Now, come on son, finish the skin of your roast pototo. THAT'S the best part, that is!"
(I'm, no nutritionist, but is it?)

My parents grew up during the World War II era. Two warnings they heard were:
Loose lips sink ships.
Closee trapee, foolee Jappee.
I suppose that second one is not considered P.C. these days, eh?
The one I got as a kid was, "There are millions of kids in India going to bed hungry tonight." Thus it was important for me to eat every scrap of food on my plate. Wouldn't want those Indian kids getting any of it, would I?
Oh, and there was, "Feed a cold, starve a fever." Okay, Ma.
