The best bits of the Rawleigh's sales pitch I think are :
"encouraging stubborn blisters to the surface"
"Former Pakistani international cricketer Zain Sheriff has found that by rubbing Antiseptic Salve into his cricket bat, the ball comes off the bat quicker and with a lot more power. His son Ali concurs."
For the former I can vouch. There is a many a blister that ( professionally ) I have failed to encourage in any way, shape or form. I am from the 'if in doubt, cut it out' generation of [strike]sadist[/strike] [strike]de-registered[/strike] surgeons.
Anyhow DownUnda use is manifold. Indeed if young Johnny has barked his knees - probably while playing cricket with a Rawleigh's sped up ball - a good parent will go to the shearing shed to get the very same tin of Rawleigh's as used upon the woollies. This disturbs no-one I might add*.
Cheers, Mike.

I'm guessing this is some sort of rural ointment like Rawleigh's Man & Beast, a legend in our Outback. Generations of Aussie Bleeders have either sworn by it or sworn at it. Some buy this tincture by the ton ! It even cures The Hobble-Gobbles, Itchy Tharg, Prideful Gnats, Ephemeral Ecstasy or
