This could be. I have found so much is no longer made for use in a drug
store. I would try ordering first, but I think one will be out looking for
an old drug store. My dad bought this in 1 gal. and 5 gal. for his own

I stopped by one of San Francisco's treasures this morning, Rainbow
Grocery, and they sell oil of camphor for $2.50/oz, $25/pint. Don't know
if that's exactly what you're looking
Or you may try to find a store that sell products to manufacturers of cosmetics.

I work in a drug store, and although we don't stock it, the pharmacist can
special order just about anything for you. He regularly orders stuff like
halfprin, denatured alcohol, etc for customers. I imagine camphorated oil
wouldn't be a problem, if it used to be a regular pharmacy item.

My father was a pharmocist and camphorated oil was sold in a drug store.
But, today it is hard to find a (real) drug store. Most are more of a
department than a drug store. I think to get camphorated oil one must look
for an old drug store.

And where does one
find camphorated oil?
Last time it was used on me, sometime in the 60's pharmacies use to sell it.
I believe Vicks Vaporub has it as its prime ingredient.

Remember that this is a 1949 formula! Actually, it rings a bell in my mind.
When I was a kid in the late 1950s, I learned all about photography from reading
books (sometimes quite old) and magazines at the local public library. I seem
to
remember that I tried this formula or something similar
