Dear John Dear John, Thank you for the exceptionally prompt delivery of Basilicon. You asked for past/present uses for it ............. I've lost track of it for decades! AAAGGGHHH!!!! When I was a nipper, I spent a lot of time at my aunt and uncle's smallholding, they'd just over 4 acres of land on which we went semi wild! I'd thorns, splinters, metal shards, bruises etc. galore. I was the accident that happened, not the one waiting to happen! My aunt kept a 'medicine tin'. For bruises, Heath + Heather's Marshmallow Ointment. For intrusive 'anythings', Basilicon was the remedy. A small tin, a small daub applied with (for the 'wounded soldier') a small bandage (which gave 'bragging power' next day at school!!). Then after a miraculously short period of discomfort, 'foreign object' disappeared, and bandage removed - as was 'bragging power'!! The tin lasted for ages, then was replaced. (I think they knew that I was in dire need!) Eventually, the ointment became far too hard to use (I needed it's efficacy too often!), so my uncle used to hold the tin up in front of a very old fashioned electric fire to soften it, apply it, and with same semi-miraculous results. Doubtless 'elf an' safety would now apply use by dates, but in the late 1940's, 1950's and very early 1960's, who had heard of them? Decades later (when I was 'semi grown up') I needed a drawing ointment. My aunt and uncle were long gone. I asked everwhere for Basilicon. I was looked on as an alien from outer space! (What's that?) The only place I could find it was in the cases of rural museums. I tried any and every supposed 'drawing ointment' from pharmacies, health stores and wherever. Totally useless, all of them. Completely by chance, a few nights ago, I 'Googled' Basilicon. (Don't ask me why!) I couldn't believe it when your website appeared!!!! You claimed that it was the original recipe. Forgive me, I was sceptical. The aroma (I'd used it so often) was ingrained in me. Yes, it IS the original recipe. I've no immediate use for it, but am SO thankful that it's now part MY 'medicine tin'. Thank you so much! Carolyn ____________________________________________________________________________ Dear John ____________________________________________________________________________ Hi John Mr Earnshaw, Many thanks for your prompt response to my order for Yellow Basilicon Ointment it arrived am today. My dad used this ointment way back in the 1940's - 1960's when he was a slaughterman and suffered numerous cuts and bone splinters. I myself have used but it has vanished from the chemist shelves over the years. What a relief at finding you as a source. I shall pass the word. My dad used to say "It will draw the nails out of your boots!" Many Thanks Robert Thompson (Liverpool) ___________________________________________________________________________
Hi John,you asked about uses for yellow basilcan ointment, my dear old mother-in-law introduced me to it soon after I got married 45 years ago.I have just finished the jar she gave to me. It gets used for a number of things.From cuts and grazes were gravel is in bedded in the skin to splinters and infections in cuts.Excellant stuff. I did not know where I was going to get the next jar from. Thank you. yours gratefully Shirley Penfold __________________________________________________________________________ Hi – order of yellow basilicon arrived today. Great service, many thanks! In response to your appeal for uses of the magic little salve I can hand on heart say it ’ s so useful! For us humans it is great for drawing splinters, especially the very fine ones from thistles or wheat straw. Along a similar vein, it ’ s great on infected bites, nasty spots or cracked nail beds. And brilliant for in g r owing toenails or damage done when snipping toe nails I use on the animals too. With the horses: for drying up horse fly bites, drawing wounds that may have grit or thorns in them, cracked heels or damage to coronary band that can turn so nasty so quickly And a must for spaniel owners! Or anyone with a dog that suffers with interdigital cysts. I can clip, tub and poultice overnight with basilicon and my cavalier king charles spaniel will feel much better by morning. So glad it ’ s available again – after the last little yellow tin finally ran out years ago I had asked in the chemists only to be met with blank looks …… ! All the best Laura Pyke ___________________________________________________________________________ Dear John Earnshaw Thank you for the Yellow Basilicon ointment which arrived today. I can only re-iterate what other people are saying about this magic ointment. There was always a small tin in my Mother's house. Every year I would help Mother to pick Blackcurrents from the garden to make jam with. Every year I used to get splinters in my fingers-where from exactly-remains a mystery. Anyway-out came the basilcon ointment, which was slapped onto my finger with a bandage round it. (Horrible-gooey stuff!) Sure enough the next morning-splinter was lying on top of my finger after removing bandage. No more pain. When I married I was given the tin, with the instructions 'Now be careful with that, because they do not make it anymore' Yes! I used it on my own children as well. Last Saturday, I had been gardening. and noticed a very small thorn in my finger, which really hurt. Oh! I wish they had not stopped making Basilicon ointment I thought. I then proceeded to Google it, and up popped you. A very big Thank You for still making it! My husband did manage to get the thorn out, after a lot of shouting from me. Thank You, once again Sincerely C. Elliott
Dear Mr Earnshaw Thank you for the quick delivery. My Nan and Mum always used this for boils and splinters they would heat it up to make a poultice then cover the wound with a plaster and by the morning it had worked its magic. My mum has only recently thrown her tin out mainly because it had gone rusty and probably was doing more harm than good. I have moved to the country and my children are always getting splinters and cuts and I thought it would be useful if I could get hold of it. I searched it on Google and tried different ways of spelling it, eventually it came up. I even found a page on Face Book called Bring Back Yellow Basilicon. I was delighted to find you selling it and ordered one for myself and mum straight away. Thanks again for bringing back this old favourite. Regard Debbie Aspell ______________________________________________________________________________________
Dear John My husband Ray ordered the above ointment on my behalf so I am writing in reply. My mother always used basilicon ointment for splinters and so when I married I added some to my medicine cupboard. In those days (we have been married 40 years) it was readily available from any pharmacy. The trouble is (for your sales) I am only just coming to the end of the original pot which was smaller than the one I have just received!!! You need to use so little each time. I have to admit I have been a little mean with it over the last few years as I was told that it had become unavailable but with grandchildren now saying "Granny can you fix....." we tried the internet - and there you were. I have used it on splinters or any infected injury that needed to be drawn - most recently an infected blister on my daughter's foot. Overnight it took away the inflammation. I think it is one of those unsung little miracle workers and I am so grateful that I have been able to replace my everlasting pot!!!!! With best wishes Sue Lewis __________________________________________________________________________ Dear John, My experience of using basilicon ointment goes back many years (I am now 80, somewhat to my chagrin.) My mother in law lived in Penarth, South Wales, and obtained basilicon ointment from a small dispensing local chemist who made his own. She used it for any septic injury or to draw out thorns and splinters, and I retained a tiny tin of it which I kept carefully, as basilicon subsequently became unobtainable. I still have the rather stiff and sticky remnants, which I used last week to bandage a thumb that was becoming infected because of a deeply imbedded scrap of bramble thorn. It worked well, as always, but I Googled basilicon to see if by chance anyone still produced it - and found you, to my delight. I come from a generation that used simple self-help for all but truly severe medical conditions, as doctors were expensive before the post-war NHS. (And may become so again, if this government has its way.) My mother had been a nurse in the '14-18 war, and knew how to use saline and kaolin poulticing for conditions that would now be treated with antibiotics. I am not unappreciative of the modern drugs, which have saved many lives, but I still turn to the natural remedies for all minor ills, and apart from cataract operations, have not sought orthodox treatment of any kind for forty years. I will keep your leaflet carefully, and will no doubt be in further contact with you at some point for supplies. It's good to have made contact with you. Best wishes, Alison __________________________________________________________________________
Dear Mr Earnshaw, Thank you for sending my order so quickly. I was amazed to see this advertised. I have been looking for a new tin of yellow basilicon ointment for such a long time. Believe it or not, I have a tin (photo attached) which I got from my Mother - wait for it - around 40 years ago, it looks absolutely disgusting and you will probably tell me that I will get some disgusting disease from using it, but it still works. I use it mainly for removing splinters, and it is still amazing. Wehn nothing else works, a little basilicon on an elastoplast applied to the area and next day, splinter has emerged. I would be interested to hear your views on my 40 year old ointment. Kind regards, Anne McCusker __________________________________________________________________________ Dear John __________________________________________________________________________ I was delighted to receive the jar of Yellow Basilicon Ointment. Over the years I have tried every chemist around for this product. The item that replaces it is useless. My husband's family and ours have used it for over 60 years for any infected fingers to draw out the impurities. We always used it on the children's fingers when they got a splinter. We covered it overnight and in the morning it lay on the surface and so no need for needles to extract the said splinter. We still have a very small pot of the above ointment and still works after 30 years!! May thanks for stocking this invaluable aid. Mrs S. Shackshaft Norfolk __________________________________________________________________________ Hello Thank you for the Basilicon. My father was born in 1895 and as a young man was an assistant in a chemists shop in Kidderminster hand making tablets. As a youngster I can remember there was always a pot of Basilicon Ointment in our medicine chest which we mainly used for boils and splinters. My wife at present has an infected elbow which requires a drawing compound. That is what prompted me to purchase the Basilicon Ointment. Kind regards __________________________________________________________________________
Just a quick one, was reading your site about this product. i actually have a jar handed down to me from my mother that was bought in 1959 :) and it is still the best, i use it for splinters but it is also very good for spots that are red and sore, put it on over night and in the morning its a whole lot better ;) just thought it was worth a mention. this is turely brilliant stuff, no matter how deeply the splinter is bedded a couple of repeat treatments and problem solved, lucky for me as a carpenter
_________________________________________________________________________ Hi, you asked for info on what I use this for. My mum used to put it on little splinters that couldn't be sorted out with a needle, or on grazes where my brothers and I got dirt/gravel stuck in the wound, to draw out any bits. My husband got a tiny deep splinter at the weekend which reminded me I've always been meaning to see if I can buy any on the internet. As I have 2 small boys it's useful to have something that can draw stuff out of little cuts and grazes. And I got an extra tub for my mum, as our old tin of basilicon got lost. She was delighted!! Hope this is helpful Clovy Horton __________________________________________________________________________ Dear Mr Earnshaw __________________________________________________________________________ Dear Mr Earnshaw My family have been using Yellow Basilican for a good many years (I remember it from when my sister and I were little – over 60 years) to draw splinters, bites and poison from wounds etc. Recently we haven’t been able to get it and the doctors say it is unavailable. My wife was badly bitten at the beginning of this week and when my sister said she had a very little left for us to use I decided to see if it was available on the internet, saw your website and the rest so they say is history. We are pleased to say it arrived on Friday and we very much appreciate your prompt service. WE will now where to come in future for more. Best wishes David Cockram __________________________________________________________________________ Dear John You asked me what experiences i had with this ointment, well we call it our magic cream! we use it for anything that needs drawing, from spots to embedded blackthorn thorns. i would never be without it, had my last pot 25 years and i was so pleased when i found you stocked it. thank you Sue Karol __________________________________________________________________________ Hello John, Thank you so much for your speedy reply, I couldn't order quick enough!! The only thing I can tell you about my memories of Basilicon is that it was "Always there" and it Always worked. I can hear my Mum now telling me to get the Basilicon, at least once a week, and I was always amazed when the offending objectsuch as a splinter suddenly lost its grip on me, or the dirt filled graze suddenly became so clean AND... stopped hurting! I was brought up on a small holding with orchards, chickens, pigs, turkeys, and a pet goat, so you can imagine the scrapes I got myself into, but the magic ointment always worked. I now require it for my grandchildren who all love the great outdoors and so the cycle starts all over again! I will most certainly be recommending your site to family and friends. With warmest regards Dorice Cox __________________________________________________________________________

I am going to use your cream..with lint to draw out the infection... Many many Thanks.. one very happy customer... Kind regards Tina __________________________________________________________________________ Dear John Many thanks for your letter along with the yellow basilicon ointment. You have no idea how delighted I was to find yellow basilicon ointment on your site via Google. I have been searching online for several years to no avail. My 89 year old mother (in the UK) and I have always had this ointment in the cupboard and even the very ancient pots we still have with a tiny bit in the bottom actually work. We have tried every health shop in Northampton UK and here in the Netherlands, no-one even knew what we were talking about. We use it for any festering, inflamed cuts or scratches or spots, cracks in fingertips or heels that are so painful, anything with pus. It's brilliant and neither I nor my mother ever found another product that worked so well. With kind regards, Jane __________________________________________________________________________
Dear John I'd just like to say that my Mum always had a pot of Basilicon in her cupboard when we were growing up and any splinters, wicklows, boils, etc. that popped up would immediately be doused with a good blob of Basilicon and a plaster, with strict instructions not to remove till at least the next day, and like magic, the infection/splinter would disappear! We have always sworn by the stuff and I have been trying to get hold of some for years - even wrote to Thornton & Ross who used to manufacture it - but they said they no longer made it and it just seemed to have disappeared altogether. My Mum's little brown glass jar finally ran out (she'd had it for years and it still worked!) and we thought that was that. Even considered making some but recipes on the internet were varied. I was delighted therefore, when doing a search again last year, to come across your link! My mother immediately insisted I got a pot, and my sister has now also got one. (I just stole a little from my Mum!) So far so good - it works like magic on nasty spots and my sister has just managed to get rid of a wicklow and a nasty little infection behind her toenail (all lovely stuff!). We're extremely pleased - please keep making it!! Regards CHRISTINE WALKER __________________________________________________________________________ Dear John Thankyou for your prompt dispatch of the Basilicon Ointment. I was born in 1926 and well recall that when I had a septic graze or cut my mother got out the old Basilicon ointment jar. It usually started throbbing as it drew out the infection and then healed. Thanks so much, nothing equals it! Sincerely Norman Staines. __________________________________________________________________________ Dear Sir Having found your website I wish to purchase a pack of Yellow Basilicon Ointment. We have used this old remedy for very many years, especially as we are gardeners and occasionally encounter prickles and thorns! This preparation seems to have disappeared from the traditional pharmacies. With many thanks R E Woolley __________________________________________________________________________ Dear Mr Earnshaw Thank you so much for the Yellow Basilicon Ointment, received today. May I say how impressed I am with the speed at which my order request has been dealt with and wish to inform you that I shall indeed tell my friends that you stock Yellow Basilicon, as they too have been trying to get hold of some. Many thanks again Yours faithfully S. White __________________________________________________________________________ Thanks very much your service is fabulous K. Notley
