But that bottle looks like it was from the 20's.... |
As I remember it, it was the methiolate (sp) that hurt, and not the mecurochrome. Methiolate was thinner and more orange in color, where mercurochrome was redder in color, and thicker. At least by my feeble mecurochromed, methiolated, and iodinated (another hurt) mind.
