Turns out, all "brain salt" was, was plain old sodium chloride, or that is, just salt.
Seems unlike today where we have far too much sodium in our diet, for a lot of people in the 1800s they had too little.
And too little sodium can cause headaches, fatigue, and so on with all the things they said Brain Salt cures.

These wooden Bleeding Heart Earrings are 2.5 inches in length and are .75 inches wide. They feature vintage medical illustrations, red glass beads, and make a great gift for a medical student or as the perfect accessory for a Goth Wedding.
And guess what! These creepy cute earrings are nickel free and eco-friendly! Our production partners make the charms from responsibly sourced European Birch Plywood. By sourcing fast-growing woods from ethical suppliers they are able to provide us with quality merchandise, using environmentally friendly materials, whilst actively supporting responsible woodland management schemes. Even the card backing it's on is green. The card backing is made from 100% recycled T-shirt offcuts – stuff that normally gets thrown away. And our ear wires are made with nickel-free surgical steel for anyone with sensitive ears (like myself).
So whether you need a birthday gift for your horror obsessed friend, have a special goth in your life, or you just love vintage medicine these wooden Bleeding Heart earrings are the perfect fashion accessory!

Or maybe you could just take the clothespin off your nose, that might help.

How to Treat Wounds
- The People's Home Library 1920
I especially love the bits about inserting dried beef up your nose for nosebleed and using gunpowder, freshly chicken entrails, cobwebs and salt pork for other open wounds.
Disclaimer: *Looking sternly at everyone*
*** I think you know better than to try this.

"Out of sorts?" drink salt water.

So I’ve already decided that any custom-body-quality Breyer German shepherd that ends up in my possession is going to say in my collection as a custom; since the original mold is likely broken we won’t be seeing that model released in any more colors, so I need to just create my own!
However, I also decided that every time I try out a new color combo on a Breyer GSD, I’ll also do the same color on a Hartland Bullet! So this time around I was attempting to paint black dogs with multiple shades of black that I mixed, and using my own dog as a color reference for various shades. It...didn’t quite go as planned, as the blue-black ended up more purple than intended, and I didn’t blend the different patches of paint as well as I wanted to, especially on the Breyer, so in bright light you can see the different patches of color more distinctly. But on a shelf you can’t really tell unless you’re looking closely, so we’re just going to call these display-quality abstract art <3
On the bright side, the Hartland (who I named Harold, after “Harold and the Purple Crayon”) is probably my best resculpt on this mold yet. He was missing his right front paw so I sculpted a new one and shortened the heels on all four paws. In addition to fixing the weird boxy fur texture/angles on his “pants” and belly, I also did my best tail resculpt yet that still matches the original sculptwork but isn’t that thin “blade” that the mold originally had. This is my fourth custom on the traditional-scale Bullet that I’ve done, and I’m getting better at making it over.
The Hartland is for sale at https://www.etsy.com/listing/1291802967/harold-custom-black-hartland-bullet (Breyer, again, is not for sale.)
