Vaseline.
What
it
is.--This
indispensable
household
requisite
is
a
product
of
petroleum,
from
which
it
is
obtained
by
an
elaborate
system
of
nitration,
without
the
addition
or
aid
of
any
chemical
whatever.
The
substance
thus
produced,
to
which
the
name
of
"Vaseline"
has
been
given,
is
in
the
form
of
a
lemon-coloured
jelly,
completely
devoid
of
either
smell
or
taste,
and
of
exquisite
softness
and
smoothness
to
the
touch.
This
jelly,
which
is
one
of
the
finest
emollients
known,
and
is
possessed
of
healing
and
other
medicinal
properties,
forms
the
basis
of
many
preparations
which
are
now
widely
used
all
the
world
over.

Vaseline
for
Medicinal
Use.
The
pure
jelly
itself,
without
any
addition,
is
an
invaluable
family
remedy
for
burns,
chilblains,
chapped
hands,
and
skin
roughened
by
exposure
to
wind
and
water
in
cold
weather;
as
well
as
for
sun-burns,
wounds,
sprains,
and
all
diseases
of
the
skin;
for
inflamed
eyelids,
and
for
preventing
pitting
in
small-pox,
when
used
externally
as
an
ointment.
When
taken
internally,
in
doses
of
half
a
teaspoonful,
or
in
smaller
quantities,
it
forms
a
cure
for
diseases
of
the
throat,
chest,
and
stomach,
and
gives
speedy
relief
in
cases
of
diphtheria,
croup,
&c.
For
convenience
in
using
it,
a
confection
is
prepared
from
it
for
complaints
of
the
throat
and
lungs.
No
one
need
fear
to
use
it,
for
although
it
is
a
product
of
petroleum,
it
is
the
only
one
that
is
not
dangerous
to
use,
and
is
possessed
of
no
poisonous
qualities.
It
may
be
procured
from
or
through
any
chemist
and
druggist.
