Examples
Phenacetin is about as cheap as acetanilid; the patent has just expired and consequently we can get it at a low price.
More effective than antipyrin, acetanilid, phenacetin or similar pain-relieving products.
It is on the market now under both names, phenacetin and acetphenetidin.
Until six years ago the chemical product known as phenacetin was patented both as to process and to product.
It might be added that the preparation is official in most foreign pharmacopeias under the name phenacetin.
