I couldn't find anything in medical historical literature, except it was formerly used as emetic (vomiting) but is nowadays considered as too toxic for use.
In agriculture and plant growing (eg. vineyards) it is still used as fungicide, pesticide or herbicide.

How do you formulate Cheshunt compound a fungicide.?
According to the Royal Horticultural Society, it is a mixture of ammonium carbonate and copper sulphate. I think the relative proportions are probably a trade secret, but since most fungicide control compounds include copper sulphate and one other ingredient, you can likely assume that the copper sulphate is the most important part. Thus a weak mixture of copper sulphate would likely work OK as a replacement. Bordeaux mixture uses copper sulphate and hydrated lime. Hydrated lime (calcium carbonate) is a kinder and more easily sourced ingredient than ammonium sulphate so I would try that before Cheshunt compound. Copper sulphate can be sourced from equestrian supply shops because it is used as a foot bath for horses (again for its antifungal properties). Be careful using it - it is poisonous to fish so NEVER put it down the drain or on land near a river.... so only mix up what you need and keep it away from children.
