The most common additive to denatured alcohol is 5 to 10 percent methanol. Methanol is highly toxic when consumed orally. Studies have reported deaths in people consuming as little as 0.5 ounces of 40-percent methanol. Denatured alcohol was commonly kept in hospital medical stores. It was found to be helpful in resuscitating patients who had fainted. However, the revival was likely due to the unpleasant choking sensation caused by having liquid poured down their mouth rather than the pharmacological effects of alcohol. This was also prescribed by many doctors who might prescribe “spts frumenti” or some other issue including the cold or flu.
Pharmacy labels have become hugely collectible; therefore, you only see the rare and unique ones, often called quack ones very rarely.
