I've always had a jar of mentholateum in my medicine cabinet - ever since I married (a long time). I can't remember though what the Watkins product to treat colds was called but we still have a can of Watkins Petro Carbo Salve. It's wonderful to heal small cuts or sores ... almost over night. Watkins Products are still sold ... my parents used them too in the 1930's. A salesman used to make regular calls to people's home and always had samples to hand out. http://www.18hrwk.com/watkins-products/cold-flu.html juanita > I don't really remember how mentholateum smells, there was something > my mom used to get from the "Watkins" man that we used for colds.

That would be Watkins Menthol-Camphor and we also have Menthol-Camphor Vapor Rub.
