Its cousin, bactine is a combination of anesthetic and antiseptic. Grease is no longer considered a proper dressing for burns, so Unguentine is probably off the market.

I’m guessing “Unguentine” is a kind of burn ointment.

That one, ahem, would have needed a substantial cleaning up before it made it into a Church magazine.
