translation

I'm sorry for the translation about the formula

I assume the paraffin is neither the petrol used in those old fashion
lamps nor kerosene.

Sometimes the word paraffin is used for that kind of solid white wax
used as a lubricant and antioxidant but also as a laxative in
pharmacology (it's derived from petrol).

I think you could replace it advantageously by the same quantity of
vaseline, the constitution is almost the same as paraffin but it's
transparent and liquid.
(I don't know if you use the same denomination in the United States)

Camphrotated oil is often use as a component in embrocations or liniments.
Nevertheless, some badmouthing people relates that you can find it in
coffee in the army because it's the contrary of aphrodisiacs (But
it's probably a legend)...;-)
