Argyrol was the original 'mild silver protein' marketed from 1910
until about the mid 1950's and prescribed by doctors, usually as nose
drops. Argyrol and similar products were responsible for most of the
cases of argyria that are now blamed on colloidal silver. (Including
the famous case of Rosemary Jacobs)
This FDA review reveals just how strong argyrol really was.

Administration-3513b1b
Page 32 tells us Argyrol contained 20 to 40 milligrams of silver per
millilitre! This means it contained more silver in a few drops than
is found in a whole litre of our typical home brew colloidal silver.
The full review covers pages 25 to 45.
So if Rosemary Jacobs was consuming about 4 drops of Argyrol a day
for about 4 years (as her story suggests) this is possibly the
equivalent of 4 to 8 litres of 'our' colloidal silver every day for 4
years. But it gets even worse because Argyrol was not ionic silver
(like our CS), it was chemically made and composed almost entirely of
silver particles that were thousands of times larger than the ions
and particles found in todays electrolytically made CS.
