This proved serendipitous, as he discovered that the soothing ointment gave the furniture a wonderful, deep, rich shine. He immediately told several other furniture store owner friends. Soon after, he got reports that the Vicks treatment had not only failed to work on their more modern furniture, but it even ruined some of them! Needless to say, he is not very unpopular with those friends now. He did learn an important lesson, however ... if it's not baroque, don't Vicks it.
