Ingredients
1 large bottle white Vaseline
1 cake of camphor
4 teaspoons white surgical spirits.

Method

Add Vaseline and mix with the grated camphor.
Melt over heat till the camphor has liquified.
Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
Spoon mixture into a glass jar and add the 4 teaspoons of spirts.
