The "Chewing Gum Industry" had it's start in Maine, back in the 1800's
when a company began to sell a confection made from Pine tree sap, "Gum
Turpentine!" I doubt that it would be very popular today!

medicines, "stimulating ointments", insecticides, and perfumes among the
various uses of turpentine.

At one time or another my locos could have used an application of
"stimulating ointment" to deal with uneven track or indifferent steaming.

Hey, there's no telling what all goes (went) by the name "turpentine".  I 
remember, when I was a preschooler, being given a spoonful of sugar and 
"turpentine" to cure some sort of ailment I had.  This was on the advice of
my 
great-grandmother (born 1898).  It was not taken from the tool shed, but
from a 
bottle with a drugstore label on it.

On the basis of that experience, I doubt you will have an easy time tracking

down just what it was that you used at some time in the past, thinking it
was 
"turpentine".  Heaven only knows what it could have been.
