Most Common Suggestions I Make on the Forums.
1. Start by writing a balanced chemical equation.
2. Don't confuse thermodynamic stability with chemical reactivity.
3. Forum Supports LaTex

Ok, sorry for the lack of information, I just thought I would see if anyone had heard of it.

The story is that someone has sent a sample, of what looks like some kind of block of dark brown wax, to us at work to figure out what it is. I have started to run it through the GCMS but can't seem to get anything out of it (not that I am an expert on the GCMS yet). The container says it is Bates Salve, and as far as I can tell it is some form of home remedy for splinters, boild, cuts etc etc. What I don't know is what it is made of.

It is a mystery. So if anyone has some ideas of what it may be or even what GCMS methods I could try, I would love to hear.

Thanks

Bates Salve my mother used to put on me. It is fantastic for drawing out pus., for boils and infections. You melt it onto a band aid and then put the band aid on the infected area. Put it as hot as you can bear. It will draw out all the muck. Leave it on for 24 hours
