	Liniment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		These liniments typically are formulated from alcohol, acetone, or similar quickly evaporating solvents, and contain counterirritant aromatic chemical compounds such as benzoin resin or capsaicin.
		Opodeldoc is a sort of liniment invented by the physician Paracelsus.
		Absorbine Jr is a trade name for a brand of liniment for human use widely sold in the United States.

	E. A. Poe Society of Baltimore
		Opodeldoc does, indeed, date far back, although not to Roman times as the tale implies, for "Paracelsus" or Theophrastus Bombast von Hohenheim, the Swiss-German adept in alchemy and the Kabbala, coined the word as early as 1541.
		In 1835 the Free Will Glass Manufactory was making "Opodeldoc Bitters bottles," and in 1848 a leaflet for glassblowers listed the prices of "small and large opodeldoc bottles," said to be standard "Druggists' Wares." Throughout the nineteenth century the liniment was being sold in special bottles (11).
		It is apparent from the advertisements that in Poe's day "Steer's Opodeldoc" reigned almost supreme, although I have found an 1826 advertisement for "Butler's Cajeput Opodeldoc," imported from England (13).

		Paracelsus applied the word to a type of medicinal plaster and it appears in English with that sense until the seventeenth century.
		After that, it shifted dramatically, under the revised spelling of "opodeldoc", to refer to various sorts of liniment based on soap dissolved in alcohol, with herbs and aromatic oils added.
		It was advertised in the Times in 1790: "The efficacy of this medicine in the Rheumatism, Lumbago, Bruises, Sprains, Cramps, &c.

		Opodeldoc.-- This lotion being a valuable application for sprains, lumbago, weakness of joints, andc., and it being difficult to procure either pure or freshly made, we give a recipe for its preparation.
		The quantity given should not, however, be much -- say a pint, or, at the most, a pint and a half a day.
		Rubbing the joint with opodeldoc, or the application of a blister to it, is of great service in taking away the thickenings, which often remain after all heat, pain, and redness have left an injured joint.

		On the first indication of any redness of the toes and sensation of itching it would be well to rub them carefully with warm spirits of rosemary, to which a little turpentine has been added.

		Externally, all soaps are more or less stimulating, according to the amount of their alkalinity; castile soap being always most suitable for washing infants, and for surgical washings.
		They may also be employed in liniments, where their alkaline action is often an advantage–castile soap being used when the preparation is to be liquid, as in the Stimulating Liniment; and hard soaps from animal fats when the preparation is to be jelly-like, as in Opodeldoc.
		Soft soap is never suitable in liniments, as it will not mix fully with other ingredients.

		All this might have been detected at once by any human intellect not distracted by correspondence with strangers, and enfeebled by habitually scorning the intellect of its own progenitor.
		This reckless selfishness had further only resulted in giving “rheumatics” to that progenitor, who now required the external administration of opodeldoc to his limbs, and the internal administration of whiskey.
		Fairley, with great promptitude and infantine simplicity, at once bared two legs of entirely different colors and mutely waited for his daughter to rub them.
