Re: Galoshans &c. - Isle of Wight “Christmas Boys' Play” c.1834:

“DOCTOR.
Here be I – little Doctor Good,
And in my hands lays that man's blood.
If he'd ben dead zix weeks or moore,
To him his life I could restore.
I've got a little bottle in my waistcoat pocket
Called Hokum, Smokum, Alecumpane;
If I jest putts a little drop on this man's cheek,
He'll rise and boldly fight agen.”
