Wintergreen Oil is a volatile oil dis- 
tilled from Gaultheria Procumbens or 
wintergreen, a small plant growing in the 
United States and Canada, in deep moist 
woods, mainly in the mountain regions of 
New York and New Jersey, also in the 
south. Chemically, it consists of about 
99% Methyl Salicylate, which is also pro- 
duced synthetically. This is the Methyl 
Salicylate or Oil of Wintergreen of com- 
merce. The genuine, natural Wintergreen 
Oil is used for internal purposes in pref- 
erence to the synthetic oil. Both the syn- 
thetic and the natural oils have analgesic 
and antipyretic properties and are used in 
place of salicylates for identical purposes 
such as mitigation of rheumatic pains and 
reduction of fever. Externally Winter- 
green Oil is used in liniments, embroca- 
tions, analgesic balms, mouth washes, 
sprays, lotions, also in the manufacturing 
of candy, chewing gums, etc. Dose—1-3 
drops mixed with water or milk. Price
