[General] to thwart the effect of poison

[Marina Gaidar]

Will it be normal to say "I have applied the ointment on your wounds several times to thwart the effect of poison"?

 

[Rover_KE]

It's normal in the context of the fantasy literature you are writing, Marina. Probably to would be a better preposition than on.

I think it sounds fine, though the style is somewhat Dickensian.
