Test if time.
I am over 75 years old. My mother used Rawleigh's ointment for just about everything. colds, chapped skin, chest congestion, etc. She would melt it in hot water and use it as an steam inhaler, etc., when we were kids. She would buy it by the box full. When the supply ran low, I actually thought the company went out of business until I researched it online. I love this ointment and now my son uses it too.
