I thought those of you interested in assassination-related items would like to see this. I will ask Roger to help see that the list gets added to my thread.
Does anyone know what Taylor's Patented Liniment, gound mustard, or tincture of camphor might have been used for (although camphor has been know as an embalming agent)?

Thanks for your help, Roger!
