  <dc:title>Benzyl Benzoate Bottle</dc:title>
  <dc:description>This is an amber glass, empty bottle of Benzyl Benzoate. It features a cork stopper and a red paper label describing its former contents as follows, in black handwriting: “Benzyl Benzoate" and in black ink “POISON. NOT TO BE TAKEN.” The bottle is hexagonal and features two embossed sides with longitudinal embossings, and embossed writing: “NOT TO BE TAKEN.”

Benzyl benzoate is primarily used in medicine as a topical treatment for scabies and lice. It works by being absorbed by the parasites and disrupting their nervous systems, effectively eliminating the infestation. It is applied to the skin as a lotion and is known for its effectiveness in treating these conditions. Additionally, it is used in veterinary medicine to treat similar infestations in animals.</dc:description>
