I, John Hill, of 35A Bridge Street, in the City and County of Bristol, Tailor, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows :— This invention consists in an embrocation which is specially applicable to treating cases of bronchitis, rheumatism, neuralgia, and sprains. 5 The embrocation in which this invention consists is composed of an admixture of Castille soap liquefied by the agency of whisky, and camphor liquefied by the same agency. The soap and the camphor are preferably pulverized before being subjected to the action of the whisky which is of a strength of approximately from twenty to twenty five degrees overproof. The proportion of spirit to pulverized 10 Castille soap is approximately a gallon of spirit to 1 lb. of soap. Similar proportions apply in dissolving the camphor.
