Note: Iodine was formerly obtained from the ashes of seaweed
(kelp or varec), but is now also extracted from certain
natural brines. In the free state, iodine, even in very
minute quantities, colors starch blue. Iodine and its
compounds are largely used in medicine (as in
liniments, antisyphilitics, etc.), in photography, in
the preparation of aniline dyes, and as an indicator in
titration.
[1913 Webster]
