Product Description: Porter's Liniment Salve - Original Formula

History: The George H Rundle Company was founded in 1871 in Piqua, Ohio, where they produced the original Liquid Porter's Pain King Liniment. During the prohibition, the Rundle Company was forced to discontinue their original formula due to the high alcohol content in the liquid liniment. Market demand brought about the creation of Porter's Pain King Salve in 1916. The salve formula was based off the original liquid version, but the solid form required no alcohol, which allowed sales to continue during the prohibition. Rumor has it that the Rundle Company was so confident in the product that they would only accept payment from satisfied customers! The George H Rundle Company went out of business in 1969. At that time, W.E Roecker moved the operation to Covington, Ohio, where the Roecker family continued to produce the original formula for 52 years. In 2021, the operation was moved to Mechanicsburg, Ohio, where the next generation will continue the 105-year tradition.

Use: The salve has a drawing quality, which works particularly well on slivers of metal, wood, or glass, beneath the surface of the skin. It is a soothing first aid salve that aids to prevent infections in minor cuts, burns, and abrasions. It provides temporary relief of discomfort due to minor burns, sunburn, chapped skin, non-poisonous insect bites, and itching.
