Carroll welcomed members to the meeting of Chipping WI in the village hall and intro­ duced guest speaker Mr Peter Watson. His talk, entitled “Magic and Medicine”, was a trip into the past, bringing memories of old wives’ tales, folk medicine and old-fash­ ioned remedies. He described how our ancestors bought “charms” to bring them luck and gave out to members “Abracadabra” cards, which were supposed to ward off all manner of injury, illness and lightning strikes. He told members Blackburn market had a “Grafter’s Stall” which offered lucky sniffs and sheep droppings, well-disguised, were sold as cures for back­ ache. The list of ailments which could be cured by Carters’ Little Liver Pills (remember them?) was end­ less, and they sold by the mil­ lion. There were cures for over 50 different illnesses, from worms, cholera, chilblains and lumbago to stings of scorpions (in Blackburn?). Why did peo­ ple buy these remedies? Did they work? Was it psychology? Was there a glimmer of science behind them? Did Doctor Williams’ “Pills for Pale Peo­ ple” put roses in their cheeks? Did “mouse pie” cure bed­ wetting? asked Mr Watson, who lectures in social history, and provided a most enter­ taining and amusing evening. He was warmly thanked by Mrs Carroll on behalf of mem­ bers. Arrangements were
