BARKER’S BONE AND NERVE LINIMENT FOR MAN OR BEAST.
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
