A.B.C. Liniment is a very old rubbing mixture or liniment. It was used for a long period of time (1880-1935 minimum[1][2]) as a way of relieving pain caused by lumbago (lower back pain), sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism, stiffness after exercise and other conditions. It was made from Aconite, Belladonna and Chloroform leading to its name.[1]
However, there have been numerous examples of poisoning from the mixture, resulting in at least one death.[3][4][5][6]
