If not mistaken, I have heard this ointment was a wonder drug. So it makes
perfect sense that fishermen would carry it with them. Someone said it has
been used for the following treatments:
"fiery" and "smoky" breath
"burning" athletes foot
"scorched" skin
"parched" lips
"blistered" hands
"singed" hair
hemorrhoids "flare-ups"
"burnt up" backs
even hot "flashes"
(I am only kidding...)

Subject: Pompeiian Massage Cream
Greetings,
A small cosmetics bottle, embossed "Pompeiian Massage Cream" was located
in the wreckage of an early 20th century schooner. I have traced down
general information on the product which was used as a facial cleanser
and lotion. The schooner was presumably used in the Pensacola Red
Snapper fishery so the item was a bit of a surprise. I am curious if
these bottles appear very frequently in the archaeological record and in
what contexts. Has anyone encountered a similar bottle?
Thanks,
