Sr. Samuel Thomson's Ointment (Grandpa's Salve) as perfected by Dr. Samuel Thomson, has been somewhat of a family tradition and has been handed down through the succeeding generations of the Thomson family. The receipe is as follows:
Place 1 1/2 pounds of lard in pan
Add 3/4 pound rosin
Add 1/2 pound beeswax
Add 1 oz oil of spike (?)
simmer until all is melted. Set back to cool and the salve is ready to use.
