A considerable amount of medical evidence is adduced of the utility of the preparation, which is free from barbiturates and opiates. From the same firm we have received a sample of ANOTAL, a combination of phenyl-cinchoninic acid and ethyl-urethane. The manufacturers claim satisfactory results for the new preparation in the treatment of rheumatism, gout, and local inflammations, the analgesic action being rapid, while medical evidence is adduced that it is well tolerated by patients who suffer from no gastric disturbance or cardiac depression if the suggested dosage is observed.
