Dr. J.H. McLeans Volcanic Oil Liniment, 4-ounce bottle: Despite the lovely old-fashioned bottle and the claims of generations of satisfied customers, you've got to wonder about a liniment whose second listed ingredient is turpentine and whose instructions include separate sections for use on humans and animals. I also have problems equating the word volcanic with soothing pain relief, but that's why I'm sitting here at a computer keyboard while the McLean clan, according to the package, has been selling this stuff since 1841.
