Camphine
Camphine was the trade name of a purified spirit of turpentine formerly used for lamps, generally prepared by distilling turpentine with quicklime. Camphine gives a very brilliant light when burned in a lamp, but, to prevent smoking, the lamp must have a very strong draught. To achieve this special lamps were constructed, so called Vesta lamps.
Chambers 20th Century Dictionary
Camphine
kam′fīn, n. rectified oil of turpentine.—Also Cam′phene.
