COUNCIL REPORTS

ACETANILID MIXTURES [A]

Report of the Council on Pharmacy and Chemistry

To the Council on Pharmacy and Chemistry:

In response to the request of your chairman we have investigated the below-mentioned preparations and report as follows:

Specimens of the articles were bought in different cities in the open market, and in original sealed packages, and were analyzed by some of us or under our direction. Each article was examined by at least two chemists, and some were subjected to several analyses. While certain of the preparations are represented as being chemical compounds, the specimens examined were all found to be mixtures, the principal ingredient being acetanilid. The percentage proportions of acetanilid given below are the minimum obtained by any of the analysts.

Soda and ammonia, combined with carbonic acid, are calculated and reported as sodium bicarbonate and as ammonium carbonate (U. S. P.) respectively. Salicylic acid is calculated and reported as sodium salicylate. Diluents and other constituents than those reported were not determined.

AMMONOL

According to the analyses of the contents of the original sealed packages as purchased, this was found to be a mixture, and to contain the following ingredients approximately in the proportions given:

Acetanilid.	Sodium Bicarb.	Ammonium Carb.
50.	25.	20.

ANTIKAMNIA [B]

Acetanilid	Caffein	Citric Acid	Sodium Bicarb.
68.	5.	5.	20.

KOEHLER’S HEADACHE POWDERS

Acetanilid	Caffein
76.	22.

ORANGEINE

Acetanilid	Sodium Bicarb.	Caffein
43.	18.	10.

Other constituents said to be present were not determined.

PHENALGIN [C]

Acetanilid	Sodium Bicarb.	Ammonium Carb.
57.	29.	10.

Certain packages of phenalgin were purchased which on analysis did not show ammonium carbonate.

SALACETIN [D]

Acetanilid	Sodium Bicarb.	Sodium Salicylate
43.	21.	20.

We recommend that this report be printed in The Journal of the American Medical Association.
