Excerpt from The Journal of Cutaneous Diseases: Including Syphilis
1. That oil which is free from paraffin and all toxic, irritating or otherwise undesirable elements, such as anthracene, phenanthrene, chrysene, phenols, oxidized acid and basic bodies, organic sulphur compounds and foreign inorganic matter; because an oil of such purity will pass through the gastro-intestinal tract without causing irritation or other untoward effects.
2. That oil which possesses the highest natural viscosity, with the highest specific gravity, because such an oil will pass through the intestine more slowly than a lighter and thinner oil and lubricate the walls of the gut more completely, and soften f?ces more effectually, and is not likely to produce dribbling.
3. That oil which is really colorless, odorless and tasteless, because palatability favors persistence in treatment.
The oil which meets all these requirements is
Liquid Petrolatum, Squibb Heavy (Californian)
It is a pure, colorless, odorless and tasteless Mineral Oil, specially refined under our control only by the Standard Oil Company of California which has no connection with any other Standard Oil Company. This oil has the very high specific gravity of 0.886 to 0.892 at 15°C. (or 0.881 to 0.887 at 25°C.) and has also an exceptionally high natural viscosity. It is sold solely under the Squibb label and guaranty and may be had at all leading drug stores.
