Subject: Re: Canker sores and egg creams



In Toledo, Ohio, post-1943, my YOB, it was definitely 'cold sores' for

the outside, also 'fever blisters'; it was 'canker sores' on the

inside. I did hear 'mouth ulcers' but thought it more technical.

Re the 'monkey blood', i don't recall it, though our hierarchy at home

for the remedies for cuts and such was: iodine, merthiolate, and

mercurochrome, in descending order of OUCH.
