VASELINE" when used in Ointments contains
more of the desired elements necessary for a
universal base than any other known substance.
It has emollient, antiseptic, healing and protective
qualities in itself, is not easily acted on by chemicals,
and, where properly protected from air and light,
does not change. Also, when incorporated with
other medicaments, they are not injured by the
action of the base. These conditions have long
been recognised by the leading Physicians, Surgeons
and Pharmacists throughout the world. Animal
and vegetable fats, on the other hand, are subject to
change, forming various compounds, which destroy
the end for which they were intended.
