Well, you get a block of camphor at the drugstore, you can still buy a head that comes in a little block about an inch and a half square, it's white, you put it in that liquor and let it dissolve, it takes you a while. But asphidy, the only way you can get it anymore is in the liquid form, you have to order it. They don't stock it in drugstores anymore. When them drunks would come out, Mom and Dad would come out on Saturday nights to play music. Mom would bum her a pint of liquor off of them to make asphidy out of for medicine. Well, I found out it was real good medicine. You could get higher than a damn Georgia pint off of it. So I'd sneak and get it, pour me out some of the snuff glass and go out behind the barn and crash out for a while. Back then it didn't take about four tablespoons full to make me drunker than hell. Candy, a dash of black pepper, some lemon juice, and some honey. Sourwood honey is better if you can get it. It's awfully expensive. And you pour your honey and your candy and your black pepper and your lemon juice in your bottle. And then you finish filling it up with liquor. And it has to set and dissolve, eat itself up for a while. And then it's good for the flu, coughs. You can be a-coughing like one thing and take it and it'll stop it. It's better than that robotushing stuff you buy.
