"William Henry Harrison Howell was my grandfather on my mother's side of the family. He had what was called "white swelling" of the knee caused from an injury he got when jumping across a ditch when he was a young man on a farm. Someone supplied him with a salve which cured the knee but left him with a stiff knee for the remainder of his life. He bought the prescription from the man (when he, the man, was drunk) back in 1886. The salve has been made in the family ever since. It was on the market for a great many years but since my Grandpap, my step-father, my mother, and my aunt (all of whom made and sold the salve) have passed on, my daughter "Sis," and I are the only ones who know how to make it, and we have no interest in marketing it."
