The place: Baltimore, Maryland. A thirty-\nfive year old medical doctor, landlord, husband, and father of two persists in\nthe pursuit of making a name for himself, and establishing a legacy for his\nfamily. His name was George W. Gordshell. Although the doctor and his parents\nwere all from Maryland, his wife Frances’ lineage was a different story. She\ncame from Massachusetts, but both her mother and father came from Scotland.\nI’ll show you the significance of this in a moment. Our sources show that\naround this time, George had started selling a product that he formulated,\nnamed Dr. Gordshell’s All Healing Salve. He sold it to local pharmacies, who\nin turn sold it to their customers for a whopping… 35 cents! Some of the\nvarious issues the Salve was to be effective for included Boils, Carbuncles,\nGathered Breasts, Chilblains, and Scald-head. Good luck on trying to find out\nwhat some of these afflictions from the nineteenth century even mean. However,\nDr. Gordshell’s Salve (now marketed as Skin Cream) is now popularly known for\nit’s work on Boils, Eczema, Pain, and Razor Bumps (for starters). Although,\nDr. Gordshell gets all the credit for the creation of this formula that has\nsurvived for over 150 years, there may be a little more to it. Apparently,\npart of the Scottish heritage lies in their Viking ancestry. It’s been noted\nthat Vikings made a drawing salve (to work on boils, eczema, etc.) from a\nrecipe including lard, beeswax, rosin, and urine. You can breathe a sigh of\nrelief. Dr. Gordshell’s formula has always been produced without the urine\n(and now can even be found in a Vegetarian version without lard). It’s very\nlikely that Dr. Gordshell got the formula for his product, in part or in sum,\nfrom his lovely wife, Frances (as it was presumably handed down from\ngeneration to generation to her).\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul class=\"a\"\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eDating back to their usage (as a drawing salve) by the Vikings, Lard, Beeswax, and Rosin are accompanied by a host of herbs working synergistically to contribute to the exceptional capabilities of this salve.\u003c\/li\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eDr. Gordshell's Original Formula Skin Cream 2.5oz\u003c\/li\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eYour best solution for eczema, acne, boils, razor bumps, bruises, rashes, burns, painful skin, and blemishes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eGreat for poison ivy \u0026amp; oak, itching, and insect bites.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"py-vbody\" style=\"display: none\"\u003e\n\n\n","brand":"Dr. G","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43143479656673,"sku":"B001VME0CA","price":150.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0464\/0433\/7819\/products\/B001VME0CA.jpg?v=1669826373","url":"https:\/\/outfitocean.com\/products\/dr-gordshells-skin-cream-2-5-oz-by-dr-g","provider":"OutfitOcean Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
