[Sca-cooks] cinnamon oil

Brekke replied to me with:

Thank you. For some other reason then this mouthwash seems to have suddenly stopped being sold in my area. Perhaps this company went out of business, but I seem to remember it being around since early in the 20th century.

Time to do some web searches. At least now I know I'm probably not wasting my
time.

PS: And yes, I did use the cinnamon oil full strength to soak the toothpicks in. The longer they soaked, the hotter they got. :-) Even in the early seventies this was soemthing I had to ask for. It wasn't out on the regular shelves at the drugstore.
