With research credit going to Mr Wilshire....allow me to add:
According to a 1927 article in a Milwaukee paper Dr. Steel had used carbolic acid on the man's freckled face. It was absorbed into the skin, migrated to the brain and killed him.
Dr. Steele later fled the US for Germany. I hate to call someone names but how does quack sound? You go to have your freckles removed, end up dead and your shady lady Dr. on the next rain headed east. Noir? Very!!
