Show New Camphor Sourco A native source for camphor. Important Im-portant In both medicine and manufacturing, manu-facturing, has been discovered In a species of wormwood that grows on the sandy steppes of the government of Astrakhan, Russia. An oil extracted extract-ed from this plant has been subjected to experiments at the Sara tow experiment experi-ment station, and was found to yield a good quality of camphor. The crystals crys-tals differ in their physical properties from those of camphor obtained from camphor trees, but chemically they are identical with it. |
