This is a promotional and informative pamphlet for Chilean iodine sold by the Chilean Iodine Producers. The booklet promotes Chilean iodine as a effective household remedy that can treat a variety of ailments. The introductory text describes the discovery of iodine in 1811, how Chilean iodine is the result of manufacturing Chilean nitrate, and has been an invaluable medical supply during the "great European war." The text then proceeds to describe different forms or solutions of iodine that can be treated for different injuries or ailments. The text says iodine is a "powerful antiseptic and counter-irritant" that can be used to treat, among others, asthma, aneurisms, hemophilia, Bright's disease, bronchitis, joint inflammation, ringworm, and cuts and skin abrasions. Iodine appears to be especially promoted as an effective treatment for superficial skin wounds. Pages 15-20 include "Directions for Use of Chilean Iodine." The following are some of the ailments addressed under "Directions": consumption, chronic rhematism, neuritis, chilblains, mosquito bites, scratches, bruises, sprains, and morning sickness. The Directions also recommend iodine in solution as a military antiseptic, throat gargle, or dental treatment. Example entry under Directions: "Chronic Pneumonia. To hasten the drying up of the inflammation rub the following ointment over the chest thoroughly--1/2 dram of iodine, 1 dram potassium iodide, 1 ounce lanolin.".
