I bouth a jar of DMSO gel at the feed store the other week.  It is almost like
jello.  Anyway, the labeling says: "to be used as a solvent only".  Of course it
is a gel, which means that is cannot be used as a solvent at all since it is 
not a
liquid.  The FDA really causes some really wierd labeling.
