I found an interesting website that had this recipe for the gunpowder salve along with an explanation…
“Yes, I have an aunt who married a doctor. He said he should start selling the stuff under the name GPL Ointment. (Gun Powder & Lard) He said the sulphur in the gunpowder was like antibiotic, the charcoal and saltpeter in the gunpowder drew out the poison and the lard was what held it all in place.” http://www.backwoodshome.com/forum/vb/archive/index.php/t-24795.html There was lots of interesting and practical information.
