What's sulphur good for?

Aside from its uses mentioned for medicinal (sulfa drugs and such), indusrtial uses includeing to be added to water to make H2SO4 or sulpheric acid (which is whats in your car battery and IIRC was used in jars with lead probes in the old days for household batteries to run lights) and its uses in gun black powder (Im pretty sure there are simpler meathods then those explained since it was fairly common for pioneers to make their own powder), sulfur can also be used IIRC in some types of leather tanning and I know a handful of sulfur tossed in the woodstove is a meathod mentioned in an Amish cookbook I have for putting out a chimney fire and I think it also mentions it can help to clean the chimney.

In short there are a LOT of uses for sulfur but based on the other items on the list the most likely intended use would be medicinal as an antibiotic for those alergic to penicilin and such or IIRC as a cloting agent.
