WATKINS
LINIMENTS
Before
there was a pharmacy on every corner, or a gourmet shop in every town,
there was Watkins. Starting back in 1868, we purveyed the only health
"remedies" that came with a money-back guarantee. That
guarantee still remains, along with a reputation for using only the
finest natural ingredients.
"J.
R. Watkins Medical Company" was
the original name of our company. Medicinal products were
our specialty, liniments, salves and other home remedies. Some of
these products remain among our customers' favorites today.
Shortly after the close of the Civil War, J. R. Watkins began to
bottle a Liniment according to a special formula. At first he supplied
this Liniment mainly to his friends and neighbors. Soon, however,
these friends began telling their friends about it, and J. R. Watkins
found the demand for his Liniment growing greater day by day. This
Liniment became widely known for its remarkable ability to relieve
aches and pains. In 1868, the same year General Grant was elected
President of the United States, J. R. Watkins founded the
business which today bears his name.
J. R. Watkins was way ahead of his time. He knew he had a product that
worked and wanted to tell others
about it. He started out small, but the business grew into a
national empire simply through word of mouth.
In 1868, J. R. Watkins sold his first bottle of
Red Liniment, featuring natural ingredients from the Asian
evergreen camphor tree and the red pepper plant. It was
a fantastic product then, and is still a popular product today -- as are many
of the early products.
WATKINS

The
very first product formulated by J. R. Watkins in the year 1868 and

soothing relief.

Active
Ingredient
Camphor
3.5% w/w:
Occurs in nature in the camphor tree, an Asian evergreen related to
cinnamon. When applied to the skin, camphor produces a feeling of
warmth and a mild local anesthetic action (depresses some nerve
endings and stimulates others). It also acts as an antipruritic, which
means it relieves itching.
Also
Contains:
Capsicum
(red pepper): A
counterirritant that masks pain by producing a warming effect on the
skin; at higher levels, a burning sensation. The burning could become
unpleasant if rubbed vigorously; therefore, we recommend that this
product be patted on rather than rubbed in.
