I collected the song from Bill House 1984. He used to sing with Charlie Wills just after the last war, in the Star pub Beaminster. Here is the result of my research. Please may I recommend the Music Hall to Folk website?

Household Remedies is another music hall tune written by Harry Randall and Edgar Bateman, which became a popular hit in Dorset for no readily apparent reason. Originally entitled  It’s A Wonder I’m Alive To Tell The Tale, the song’s message of unlikely cures for toothache, bile and boils is brought alive by Harry in his lively jaunty version.
