You can apparently rub it on the gums of a teething baby to help make it less painful for them/quiet them down. That was often the preferred solution when my grandfather was a pediatrician in Alaska back in the 1950-60's, because due to snow/roads/being Alaska there often weren't better solutions available to people with babies in the more outlying areas (while everyone had whisky on hand). Then he moved back down to a city in the continental U.S. and his new work colleagues had to have a chat with him about how recommending parents give their new babies hard liquor was, at best, extremely déclassé. e: It also "works" for surgery in a pinch, assuming you've just been badly wounded in a battle prior to the 19th century or so.
