Aunt Tillie's Salve

Annie's got the recipe for Grandma's caramel corn. I have the recipe for Aunt Tillie's salve. This is a real down home treatment for whatever ails you.   From Rynda: 

1 pound sheep tallow

1 pound beeswax

1 pound rosin

1-1/4 pound boiled (not raw) linseed oil

2 teaspoons carbolic acid
Melt first four ingredients together but do not let it get too hot. Then add carbolic acid (it will foam up) and mix well. Pour in salve boxes (got some of those around, don't you?) or any other handy container.

I need to verify who Aunt Tillie actually was. I think it was Mathilda Luedtke Bergemann, so an aunt of Grandma Mieska's on her mother's side. The loom that my mother had in the porch in the Northfield house had belonged to Aunt Tillie. It went back to one of her descendents when my folks left Northfield.
