All the pre-1950s cookbooks had an invalid's section - full of recipes for things made with awful offal ;)

Might start a home-brewing revolution and be a solution to the gorse pest problem in New Zealand ;)

condys crystals -potassium permanganate can act as a antiseptic. For example, dilute solutions were used to treat canker sores (ulcers), disinfectant for the hands and treatment for mild pompholyx, dermatitis,[4][5] and fungal infections of the hands or feet.[6] Potassium permanganate is used extensively in the water treatment industry.
Mmm. Glad I wasn't around then. Nor when such gross food was around. And to think in Europe they had decent food then.

This is not a ture recipe but one for a smile.
How to Preserve A Husband
Be careful in your selection. Choose one which has just matured and give all your thoughts to the preparation for domestic use. Some wives put theirs in a pickle, some put them in hot water; but neither method is satisfactory-they may become sour, hard, and even bitter. Even poor varieties may be made sweet and tender by continued patience, sweetened with a generous measure of love and seasoned with kisses. Wrap well in charity and keep warm with a good fire of domestic devotion. Serve often with peaches and cream. Thus prepared, any husband may be kept indefinitely.
This has come from a community fund raiser cookbook from Palmerston North. The phone numbers are five digits.

POTTED HEAD Take half a bullock's head, and clean it and soak it in warm water with a cow heel for 2 to 3 hours.Then boil it with the heel till tender.When done, cut them in small pieces and lay them aside, after which strain the liquor and let it stand till cold and take off the fat.Put the whole into a saucepan, boil half an hour, season with pepper and salt according to taste, put into tin or earthware shapes or basins and when quite cold it forms into a jelly and is ready for use.Garnish with sprigs of parsley.

lol at fruit salts, my mother has mentioned those. given each day to keep one regular.
the Gorse wine becomes more potent the longer its left. An uncle had some of my grandmothers parsnip wine a few years ago and I remember him inviting my parents to have a "taste" (thimble full) as it was extremely potent. This would have been mid to late 70's and grandma had been dead for some 10 years or more and the wine would have been at least 2 years old before she passed. Was more like a fine brandy than a wine lol.

There was another brand called 'Enos' and children used to sneak a spoonful and add it to orange cordial to make a fizzy drink ;)
