Murdoch Mysteries Tower Bridge - no leads to ethnomedicine

Murdoch Mysteries isn't much fun this week as far as ethnomedicines goes except for using the term snake oil. I already dealt with that here

The World War 1 references led nowhere, ScienceDirect also knows nothing about Tower Bridge, Potters Fields, Trinity Square Gardens and the Postern Gate.

Since one of the cards used braille I will put up my head conditions paper.

RPMP Vol. 29 — Ethnomedicine: Source & Mechanism III 01/2011;

ABSTRACT This paper focuses on the nineteen plants used for eye and dental problems and headaches. Thirty respondents, ten of whom were male were interviewed from September 1996 to September 2000. The respondents were obtained by snowball sampling, and were found in thirteen different sites, 12 in Trinidad and one in Tobago. A preliminary validation of ethnomedicinal practices was conducted as a preliminary step to establish which plants are safe or effective and which uses should be discontinued. Three plants are used for eye problems (Capraria biflora, Kalanchoe pinnata, Ocimum gratissimum), five for headaches (Acnistus arborescens, Lepianthes peltata, Musa sp., Ricinus communis, Senna occidentalis), five for problems in the mouth (Aristolochia rugosa, Chrysobalanus icaco, Cocos nucifera, Spondias mombin and Tagetes patula), one for ear problems (Tagetes patula), one as a brain tonic (Rosmarinus officinalis) and one as a narcotic (Datura stramonium). Four of the plants used may produce unwanted side effects.
