Burrow's Solution, N.F. Vintage Label

Burow's solution is a pharmacological preparation made when aluminum acetate is dissolved in water. It was invented in the mid-1800s by Karl August Burow, an ophthalmologist. The preparation has astringent and antibacterial properties and is used to treat a number of skin conditions such as insect bites, rashes caused by poison ivy and poison sumac, swelling, allergies and bruises. Burow's solution is traditionally applied in cold compresses over the affected area. It's interesting that Burow's solution is still available today without a prescription in many drugstores and supermarkets.
