ACETANILIDUM. 



ACIDUM BENZO1CUM. 



Tests showing some incompatibilities: 



Triturate with Resorcinol 



Con. HNO 3 ... 



Con. KOH 



Tinct. Ferri Chloridi 



Therapeutics. Acetanilid has had wide use in the past as a sedative and anal- 

 gesic, being used to lessen the pains of neuralgia and rheumatism, but it is rather 

 dangerous through its depressant action on the heart; this untoward property also 

 interferes with its utility as an antipyretic. Dose, 0.2 Gm. 



Two closely related products are: Acetphenctidinum and Antipyrina. Dose of 

 each, 0.3 Gm.
