Heya gang! And BTW...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ZULE!!!
The stuff was a solvent called DMSO - was supposed to be the wonder miracle cure of the late 20th century, you can still get it, and people still use it... unfortunately, like the wonder miracle cures of the late 19th century, it was pretty nasty stuff, especially if mis-used.
Case in point - the wonder alkaloid derivitives from AG Bayer in the late 1800's, major breakthroughs... amazing stuff, one a cure for respiratory and blood disorders (and headaches, too!), the other a pain reliever, and a pretty remarkable cure from the devastating addictions to Laudinum that were prevalent...
Aspir-in and Hero-in.
(One of the original posters announcing these breaktroughs was on eBay a few years back - wish I'd snagged it now!)
Makes ya think when the doc says "take 2 and call me in the morning"...
OK... round for the House for Zule's b'day!
