Even more on coal tar. Seems I was 100% right.

Coal Tar- Coal tar has been used to treat the itching and inflammation
caused by skin conditions for hundreds of years. The tar contains
chemicals that soothe the skin. Crude coal tar is a byproduct of oil
production. It makes the skin more sensitive to light. In its natural
state it is a thick, brownish-black substance that is messy to apply to
the skin. Refined coal tar preparations, many of which are available over
the counter, may be more cosmetically acceptable. Coal tar has been used
for many years to treat psoriasis and it has few side effects. However, it
does not work for everyone. In addition to being messy to use, it has a
strong odor and can stain skin and clothing. It can cause sun sensitivity,
and may irritate acute dermatitis. Tar creams or bath emulsions can be
helpful for mild inflammation of atopic dermatitis. The smell may be
offensive to some people.

Coal Tar Products

Outline of the section: Read more about how use of coal tar products is
shown in the iris.

Signs in the Iris:

Antikamnia produces in the upper part of the iris a greyish white veil
which looks like a thin coat of whitewash. (Color plate, figs, d and f.)
Antifebrin, antipyrin and phenacetin produce a pigmentation proceeding
from the sympathetic wreath outward, in color ranging from gray to light
yellow.

Creosote and guaiacol, which are used extensively as germ killers in
tuberculosis and other germ diseases, produce a greyish or ashen veil over
the entire iris. (Color plate, Figs, a and b.) In Europe the utter
uselessness of these agents and their destructive effects have been fully
recognized and they have been practically abandoned. In this country,
however, these poisons are still widely used. The same holds true of
antitoxin and tuberculin. These serums also have been practically
abandoned by the most advanced European physicians, while here they are
rather gaining in popularity with the medical profession.

Even "harmless" germ killers, if such there be, will never prove a cure
for tuberculosis, because the tubercular bacillus is the product of the
disease, not its cause. It grows in morbid and decayed lung tissue only.

The only way to prevent the growth and multiplication of the dreaded
bacilli or their microzyma is to remove from the system the morbid and
scrofulous soil in which they thrive. Elimination, not "germ killing", is
the cure. Every germ killer is a protoplasmic poison, and that which
weakens and kills the protoplasm of bacteria and parasites also weakens
and kills the protoplasm of the normal cells of the human body.

During the last thirty years coal tar preparations have become very
popular as pain-killers and hypnotics. Antipyrin, antifebrin, phenacetin,
antikamnia, triasol and dozens of other preparations are obtained by the
distillation of coal tar. All of these agents are highly poisonous and
have a depressing and paralyzing effect on the brain, heart and
respiratory centers. The use of these agents in the form of doctor's
prescriptions, headache powders, nerve soothers, and hypnotics accounts
for the increase in heart disease and insanity much more than does the
"strenuous life". The stimulating and soothing effect of many of the
popular soft drinks, such as coca cola and bromo seltzer, is due to
poisonous stimulants, hypnotics or narcotics.

A few years ago Dr. Wiley, the government chemist, exhibited at the St.
Louis exposition a flag of the United States which had been colored by
anilin dyes extracted from canned goods. His investigations and laboratory
experiments proved that most of the foods sold in grocery stores were
adulterated not only with cheap ingredients, but also with poisonous
coloring materials and antiseptics, most of which were found to be coal
tar preparations.

In our modern artificial life people absorb poisons in many ways which
they never suspect.

Don't you even bother to *read* your sources before you quote them?
