   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.
