Breck's Dope
| Pine tar | 3 oz. |
| Olive (or castor oil) | 2 oz. |
| Oil of pennyroyal | 1 oz. |
| Citronella | 1 oz. |
| Creosote | 1 oz. |
| Camphor (pulverized) | 1 oz. |
| Large tube of carbolated vaseline. |
Heat the tar and oil, and add the other ingredients; simmer over slow fire until well mixed. The tar may be omitted if disliked or for ladies' use.
Breck tells us that his dope was planned to be a counter-irritant after being bitten as well as a preventer of bites.
