I never got a mustard plaster, but my mom used to "grease" my chest
with warm camphorated oil and put a warmed cloth over that when I had
bronchitis.  It did feel good.  She used to talk about an (I'm not
sure how to spell this) asapheda bag (?) that she had to wear around
her neck.  Anyone know what that was?  Julia
