Hi ralphleanonard,
It seems that Wright?s Vapourizing Fluid is no longer manufactured,
for safety reasons.
It also appears the fluid had been reformulated, from 90% cresol to
10% chlorocresol, but is no longer manufactured. According to PMJ
Online, ?Of 160 children (average age 2.5 years) and 12 adults, 21.5%
had moderate symptoms, 7.5% had severe symptoms and one child died.
Where incidents involved the old formulation very few patients escaped
without symptoms and over 50% of thm had skin burns or moderate
systemic symptoms.?

?This vaporising fluid contains chlorocresol along with a number of
volatile oils such as cassia oil, cinnamon leaf oil, citronella oil,
rosemary oil, origanum oil and lavender oil.?

See Page 1 of this Pharmaceutical Journal. In the right hand column,
someone else is seeking Wright?s Vapourising Fluid. According to the
journal, it is no longer manufactured.

Perhaps you can consider using a cold steam vaporizer, and some Vick?s
Vapo-Rub on the chest as an alternative, and safer treatment for
coughs and colds.

In the US, use of a simple cool mist vaporizer, without the addition
of any treatments added are recommended for colds. The extra moisture
helps beak up mucus and phlegm.
