ANTIFEBRINE.
Antifebrine as a proprietary name is controlled by patents, and when bought under this name it costs about thirty cents per ounce. The name acetanilide, for exactly the same substance, is not and cannot be controlled in any way, and under this name it can be bought for about fifteen cents per ounce. As acetanilide is about one-eighth the price of antipyrine, and effective in half the dose, it is far more economical to the patient.—Pittsburgh Medical Review.
