Tar treatment

[D Foster]

I must be a bit odd cos I actually like the smell of coal tar! I still use Wright's coal tar soap for washing my hands and as a body soap (apologies to my long suffering wife who HATES the smell!!!!). As for the messy stuff, like the rest of you it was a nightmare on clothes and bedding and I much preferred Exorex lotion to the greasy, oily ointments "back in the day".

I don't dislike the smell it's just that it brings back memories of hospital treatment when in the late 60s/early 70s they still sacrificed goats to the god Zeus and used witchcraft to cook the food, I don't think they have stopped that part yet.
