Years ago I was doing some family history research using the NY Times from the
1890s (I have a distant relative who was John Phillip Sousa's manager, hence
the connection to the NYT).
The paper was only about 12-16 pages then. While browsing through a few weeks
of issues looking for "my" story I read many of the city beat stories that were
truly horrifying by todays standards. One I distinctly remember was about a
factory where someone's clothing caught fire. The victim's brother tried to
extinguish the fire by throwing what he thought was a bucket of water on him;
turns out it was a bucket of acid and the victim ended up horribly disfigured
as a result of the one-two punch.

Exactly right. When I worked in the labs at Agilent,
we had to label even tap water (there were preprinted
labels saying "tap water" in the stock room). I
used tap water to squirt soldering iron cleaning sponges.
Also, it is very difficult to dispose of unlabeled hazardous
waste. Even unlabeled cans of paint will not be accepted
for recycling.
