My elementary school nurse used two shapes of Mercurochrome bottles. One  was 
about 3-inches tall and square with a paper label, black plastic top and an  
applicator in the lid. The other was larger, flatter, and had the same kind of 
 top. I think the small ones were in first aid boxes in each room. The 
contents  was an icky red and it both stained everything orangish-red and stung like 
the  devil, which they always told you was the germ killing process... but 
why did  they always smile?
