From the Introductory.
Ichthyol, an organic sulfur preparation, was first brought into commerce in 1882 by Rudolf Schroter, the founder of the Ichthyol Company of Hamburg, under the trade-marked name "Ichthyol," and "Sulpho-Ichthyolicum" or "Sulpho-Ichthyolate." As a remedy, the preparation was originally introduced in skin diseases by the eminent dermatologist. Dr. P. G. Unna, of Hamburg, in 1882. Since then, however, its application has been widely extended, and today there is no remedy more universally prescribed for a wide variety of indications.
"There is no remedy of more universal application than Ichthyol," observes the Medical Summary (Nov. 1905). "We frequently hear the expression, 'It cures everything from corns to consumption,' as facetiously applied to and stigmatizing the vaunted expanse of some pretentious and flagrant nostrum. But here, in sober fact, we have a remedy that actually spans this tremendous range of therapeutic possibilities and efficiency. Our confirmatory evidence runs from personal experience with intractable soft corns, so painful and stubborn of relief, to the word of the resident physician of a most noted hospital for consumptives that 'they use it almost without limit, both internally and externally.'
