HECTINE

Hectine is a French proprietary and is stated to be, chemically, sodium benzo­sulpho­amino-phenyl-arsenate. If the asserted composition is correct, Hectine is similar to atoxyl, which is described in New and Nonofficial Remedies, 1914, page 38. Hectine has not been examined by the Council on Pharmacy and Chemistry.​—(From The Journal A. M. A., Aug. 8, 1914.)
