be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:
This invention consists in an embrocation which is specially applicable to treating
cases of bronchitis, rheumatism, neuralgia and sprains.
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 like
agency. The soap and the camphor are preferably pulverized before being sub-
jected to the action of the whisky which is of a strength of approximately from

mixed constitute the embrocation.
The embrocation is applied in substantially the same way as is customary with
others of a kindred nature, namely, by rubbing externally.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
