1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,520
Well you get a block of camphor at the drugstore. You can still buy it. It comes
in a little block

2
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:12,840
about an inch and a half square. It's white. You put it in that liquor and let
it dissolve.

3
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:13,800
It takes you a while.

4
00:00:15,808 --> 00:00:21,208
But asafoetidae, the only way you can get it anymore is in the liquid form. You
have to order it.

5
00:00:21,208 --> 00:00:22,908
They don't stock it in drugstores anymore.

6
00:00:22,908 --> 00:00:26,408
When them drunks would come out, Mom and Dad on Saturday nights to play music,

7
00:00:26,408 --> 00:00:30,908
Mommy would bum her a pint of liquor off of them to make asafoetidae out of for
medicine.

8
00:00:30,908 --> 00:00:36,108
Well, I found out it was real good medicine. You could get higher than a damn
Georgie pint off of it.

9
00:00:36,108 --> 00:00:39,708
So I'd sneak and get it.

10
00:00:39,708 --> 00:00:45,488
Pull me out some of the snuff glass and go out behind the barn and crash out for
a while.

11
00:00:45,488 --> 00:00:50,088
Back then it didn't take but about four tablespoonfuls to make me drunker than
hell.

12
00:00:50,088 --> 00:00:56,488
Candy, a dash of black pepper, some lemon juice, and some honey.

13
00:00:56,488 --> 00:01:00,488
Sourwood honey is better if you can get it. It's awfully expensive.

14
00:01:00,488 --> 00:01:06,488
And you pour your honey in and your candy and your black pepper and your lemon
juice in your bottle.

15
00:01:06,488 --> 00:01:09,488
And then you finish filling it up with liquor.

16
00:01:09,488 --> 00:01:14,048
And it has to sit and dissolve, eat itself up for a while.

17
00:01:14,048 --> 00:01:20,508
And then it's good for the flu, coughs, you can be coughing like one thing and
take it

18
00:01:20,508 --> 00:01:22,508
and it'll stop it.

19
00:01:22,508 --> 00:01:24,348
It's better than that Robitussin stuff you buy.
