If I recall correctly, this oiintment was once made or adopted by one of the railroads in the US? If so -- and I'm pretty sure I'm right -- it's no longer made. The reason, I would imagine, is that oils of wintergreen and spearmint, while they feel cool, aren't really helping. Being oils, they can seal the wound from exposure to air, which reduces local pain somewhat but, being oils, they're sticky and they act as an adhesive to dirt and bacteria. Turns out it does more damage than help. If the burn is severe, you might consider asking your doctor about Silvadene / Silver Sulphide. It's been around for quite a while and it's a superb burn antibacterial. If the burn doesn't require this, go for keeping the wound clean, use gentle antiseptics like betadyne, and keep it loosely bandaged, to keep the wound clean but leat air get in to dry it.
