I remember that stuff. There was another variant of it called methyolaid. That stuff burned like hell! Wonder what was in it?

I remember both Mercurochrome and Merthiolate being used on myself and my two brothers in the 50's & 60's. I remember one came in a small container with a glass rod dauber. The other came in a long slender glass tube wrapped in paper. I know one of the two burned when it was applied.
I preferred a nice Hydrogen Peroxide rinse, a Band-Aid and I was back outside and after it again.
Bactine was probably more expensive. Mom usually followed what grandma had done. -
I also remember those two things. Are they gone? If so I guess they didn't really do anything medical.Lumin X1 file player, Westminster Labs interconnect cable

I - vividly - remember the smell of mercurochrome
Merbromin, the API (active pharmaceutical ingredient) of Mercurochrome. It is a topical antiseptic (and a pretty good one, although no longer sold in the US).
-
Merthiolate is/was a trade name for another organomercurial compound that, in my line of work, is known as thimerosal. This is the stuff that used to be used as a preservative in, e.g., vaccines but fell into disrepute due to a (completely spurious) imputed connection to autism.

That whole "Mercur" part of the names scares me. Makes me think our moms were unwittingly poisoning us with Mercury!

oops, that's Merkur...
Mercury (the element) gets a bad rap. Not entirely undeserved (mercury and mercury vapor are, indeed quite toxic -- as are many organomercury compounds), but, as in most things, a little common sense goes a long way -- and the common sense approach to mercury containing materials is long gone.

I think my mom wittingly poisoned me with Mercury when she wasn't entertaining or beating me! -

No wonder the methyolaid hurt like hell for me. I later found out I was allergic to iodine. I can see both of them in the family medicine cabinet.
And mercury; in the high school chemistry lab, we always put mercury on our silver coins.
Other chemicals in those days that were fun included yellow phosphorus:
