Is that what went on to become A535? I seem to remember old TV commercials for "the antiphlogistine rub, A535". Hmm...

I got comforting Moist Heat last night, but this is not the community for such talk.

I traded comforting Moist Heat last night too, anniversary night.

Kaboom?

I've just been reading a book about alchemy, in which there was an early theory about explosions - that a substance in the air called 'phlogiston' caused sudden ignition.

I'm wondering what this cream actually did. :-s

It's like a poultice. They still use this stuff on horses' legs and feet, especially legs, when they're swollen. On the feet when they have an abscess, to draw it out. :)

Ewwww. A softened boil.

That's what you want when you have a boil. It can be lanced then. Don't ask me how I know. Please.

The name "Antiphlogistine" is a little frightening to me. "Moist heat" is not any better.

ughhhh...
