00:00.000 --> 00:08.280
Well, you get a block of camphor at the drugstore, you can still buy a head that
comes in a little

00:08.280 --> 00:12.560
block about an inch and a half square, it's white, you put it in that liquor and
let

00:12.560 --> 00:14.000
it dissolve, it takes you a while.

00:15.808 --> 00:20.808
But asphidy, the only way you can get it anymore is in the liquid form, you have
to order it.

00:20.808 --> 00:22.808
They don't stock it in drugstores anymore.

00:22.808 --> 00:26.808
When them drunks would come out, Mom and Dad would come out on Saturday nights
to play music.

00:26.808 --> 00:30.808
Mom would bum her a pint of liquor off of them to make asphidy out of for
medicine.

00:30.808 --> 00:36.808
Well, I found out it was real good medicine. You could get higher than a damn
Georgia pint off of it.

00:36.808 --> 00:44.808
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.

00:45.488 --> 00:49.988
Back then it didn't take about four tablespoons full to make me drunker than
hell.

00:49.988 --> 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 --> 01:06.988
And you pour your honey and your candy and your black pepper and your lemon
juice in your bottle.

01:06.988 --> 01:09.488
And then you finish filling it up with liquor.

01:09.488 --> 01:13.988
And it has to set and dissolve, eat itself up for a while.

01:14.048 --> 01:18.048
And then it's good for the flu, coughs.

01:18.048 --> 01:22.048
You can be a-coughing like one thing and take it and it'll stop it.

01:22.048 --> 01:25.048
It's better than that robotushing stuff you buy.
