Vintage Nitro-Glycerin Bottle
Nitro-glycerin is a heavy, colorless, oily, explosive liquid obtained by nitrating glycerol.
Since the 1860s, it has been used as an active ingredient in the manufacture of explosives,
specifically dynamite, and as such is employed in the construction and demolition industries.
Nitro-glycerin is also used medically as a vasodilator to treat heart conditions, such as
angina and chronic heart failure. It is explo verso is its action on the organism. Suddenly and
with greatest violence it determines blood to the periphery so quickly, and so surely that
its terrible bursting pains coming in shocks certainly are the true signature of Nitro-glycerin.
Throbbing, pulsations, blood rushes to head and heart and arterioles or great blood waves
and surges with sensation of overfullness and bursting in different parts, this is the
pathological state Glonoin produces while it cures.
