What the heck is "KERATOL"?

Nathan Natas

In looking over a listing of the WTS' publications, I notice that some of the "Studies In The Scriptures" and other books were available in a KERATOL edition.

What is KERATOL?

Was is some super-polymer from Watchtower Laboratories? (Like bakelite or celluloid, but much more Theocratic?)

Was it an salt of Adamantium and Eveine? (Adamantium Evide?)

Was it a combination tonic and bowel cleaning laxative? (The theocratic way to colonic perfection!)

I figure that RR will know what it is, but maybe someone else does too.

I do not, and I suspect that my eternal salvation is at risk for lack of such accurate knowledge.

Think how many millions of lives will be improved by the wide dissemination of this hidden knowledge. It is therefore not without good reason that we can conclude with certainty that anyone who knows the truth in this matter is obligated to speak up.

Who would like to testify first?

At first I thought it was a kerosene based geriatric medication, (That will light your fire baby)

Ok...bad joke.....

but seriously, I believe Keratol is a imitation leather cover.

Does that mean that there is imitation religious teachings on the inside???

"Most of publishers are now using KERATOL, which, when new, looks fairly well, but Keratol is an imitation leather, and in less than a year will turn gray. Notice," (at the same time turning to the leather strip running the length of the inside front cover of your prospectus,) "this leather is genuine. It is soft and pliable. "

I don't know about Keratol, but I'm pretty familiar with Geratol. It was one of those wonder tonics from back in the fifties. Of course it made old folk feel more spry - It was about 30 proof. Straight ethanol. Good for you, good for me, uum uum good, real good. Until the FDA got around to it. And then it went the way of Carter's Little Liver Pills (which had no perceivable action on the liver at all, or any other organ excepting the colon, which it opened wiiiiiiiide and produced the predictable reaction).
