Chloraseptic throat lozenges and spray contain phenol, the spray is I believe
1.2% phenol. (If you have a sore throat this stuff really works.) As I said
before dilute solutions are not very toxic.

Richard that sounds like the voice of experience there. There would have been
days I would have loved to have dealt with the taste of Lifeboy, but that
wasn't
mom. When she was really mad, she would send you out to get your own switch.
Turns out its Lifebouy. I think the carbolic acid in it would have been worse
even than the Stodard solvent in Fels Naptha. My mom would not allow Lifebouy
in
the house, partly because of its odor and partly because it would take your
skin
right off. It was popular in institutions because of its claimed antiseptic
properties. I think the phenol was pretty toxic. We did have Fels Naptha, it
was used strictly for difficult laundry.
Fels Naptha is still made but no longer has Stodard Solvent in it but
Lifebouy with carbolic is evidently still on the market in some parts of the
world.
The Lifebouy radio commercials featured a vocalized fog horn effect, the
key
line was "Why have BEEE OHHHH, with the BO vocalized with the fog horn. There
was at the time a machine for producing speaking sound effects, I have forotten
the name of it. It was used for Bromo-Seltzer commercials with the sound of a
locomotive and was the effect used in the movie "Letter to Three Wives". I
think
it was also used for the Lifebouy commercial but its been so long since I've
heard it I can't be sure. Not to be confused with the deoderant that
advertised
"Don't be half-safe" I can't remember what that was either.
