"Desperate efforts were being made to protect troops from the disease, or at
least prevent complications. Germicidal solutions were sprayed into the
mouths and noses of troops. Soldiers were ordered to use germicidal
mouthwash and to gargle twice a day. Iodine in glycerine was tried in an
attempt [to] disinfect mouths. Vaseline containing menthol was used in
nasal passages, mouths washed in liquid albolene."*

Well, I be go ta hell. Is there no end of uses for this magical potion?
