00:00.000 --> 00:08.520
Well you get a block of camphor at the drugstore. You can still buy it. It comes
in a little block

00:08.520 --> 00:12.840
about an inch and a half square. It's white. You put it in that liquor and let
it dissolve.

00:12.840 --> 00:13.800
It takes you a while.

00:15.808 --> 00:21.208
But asafoetidae, the only way you can get it anymore is in the liquid form. You
have to order it.

00:21.208 --> 00:22.908
They don't stock it in drugstores anymore.

00:22.908 --> 00:26.408
When them drunks would come out, Mom and Dad on Saturday nights to play music,

00:26.408 --> 00:30.908
Mommy would bum her a pint of liquor off of them to make asafoetidae out of for
medicine.

00:30.908 --> 00:36.108
Well, I found out it was real good medicine. You could get higher than a damn
Georgie pint off of it.

00:36.108 --> 00:39.708
So I'd sneak and get it.

00:39.708 --> 00:45.488
Pull me out some of the snuff glass and go out behind the barn and crash out for
a while.

00:45.488 --> 00:50.088
Back then it didn't take but about four tablespoonfuls to make me drunker than
hell.

00:50.088 --> 00:56.488
Candy, a dash of black pepper, some lemon juice, and some honey.

00:56.488 --> 01:00.488
Sourwood honey is better if you can get it. It's awfully expensive.

01:00.488 --> 01:06.488
And you pour your honey in and your candy and your black pepper and your lemon
juice in your bottle.

01:06.488 --> 01:09.488
And then you finish filling it up with liquor.

01:09.488 --> 01:14.048
And it has to sit and dissolve, eat itself up for a while.

01:14.048 --> 01:20.508
And then it's good for the flu, coughs, you can be coughing like one thing and
take it

01:20.508 --> 01:22.508
and it'll stop it.

01:22.508 --> 01:24.348
It's better than that Robitussin stuff you buy.
