BARKER'S BONE AND NERVE LINIMENT FOR MAN OR BEAST

Categories: Patent Medicines and Secret Forumla

Cures rheumatism, sprains, bruises, chilblains, etc. We have made an

examination of the foregoing liniment and find it to be essentially a

liquid petroleum product, containing large quantities of camphor and

turpentine, and with smaller quantities of oil of tar and probably oil of

thyme. The bottle is square and deeply paneled and holds two fluid ounces

of a dark colored fluorescent liquid. The following formula, according to

H. W. Snow, makes a preparation not to be easily distinguished from the

original:



Camphor 70 grains

Oil of Tar 1/2 fluid dram

Oil of Thyme 1 fluid dram

Oil Terebenthene 2 fluid drams

Franklin Oil (Black oil,

lubricating oil) sufficient to make 2 fluid ounces



The above amount would cost about 25 cents.
