This is better than vaudeville - like lottery cards - lucky scratch and you'll collect.

I found the best thing for a lucky scratch was Blue Unction

[Richard Quartermaine]

Some use cooking salt, then stand over a bucket of water into which they fall and drown. A bit cruel!

In 1957 my Mate had the Sandy Mcnabs in Liverpool, There was an all night Chemist shop up on Lime Street, he wanted me to go with him to get some Ble Unction. I stood by the door as he went to the counter, the shop was full of people,
He shouted in a big loud voice, "Can I have some Blue Unction for the Crabs please. " everyone looked at him.
"Its not for me" he shouted, "Its for him by the door" pointing at me. Everyone looked at me, so I legged it out and ran down Lime Street to the `Big House.` for a bevy.
Cheers
