minor correction
The Applications, Other Uses sentence "...and it was removed from over-the-counter sedative products like Bromo-Seltzer, in 1975" should be changed to "... and sodium bromide was removed from..." because Bromo-Seltzer never had elemental bromine.71.230.16.111 (talk) 06:42, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

 * The active ingredient was bromine; the KBr solution simply provided solubility in water, more suitable for internal surgical use than alcohol. Ref. 1 also mentions that in 1868 "Mr. Marshall and Mr. Southam used a solution of 1 scruple of bromine in 1 oz. of spirit for unhealthy wounds, and found it useful, but very painful"
 * The point is that in 1864 it was established as a drug.71.230.16.111 (talk) 23:04, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
