&fist; 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.
