blogs could be humorous. Imagine a web site extolling the virtues of
black powder ingestion to cure pneumonia.... :-)

Speaking of BP, though, there *was* some ailment for which BP was a
home
remedy. I can't remember what it is. 'Ever hear of it?

Could it be from the sulphur in the mixture?

Well, it had to be the sulfur, or the saltpeter, or the charcoal.

Fairy funny. Both sulfur and charcoal are drawing agents with
anti-bacterial properties. Dunno 'bout niter.

It's available as a generic. Look for "Explosidine." If it doesn't cure you,
you can put yourself out of your misery and blow yourself to hell.
