RHODINE
RHODINE means acetylsalicylic acid of the purest quality.
(1206
It is the equivalent of the German Aspirine and is as efficient if not more
so than this last product for the same therapeutic purposes. Each tablet contains 0,50 gramme of pure KHODINE.
From 1 to 6 tablets a day may be taken, according to physicians' prescription.
RHODINE is a special remedy for acute rheumatism. If taken in proper doses, it will often cure and always alleviate headache, neuralgia, stomachie para, etc., if those complaints find their origin in rheumatism.
It is very valuable in influenza, typhoid fever and in all kinds of infectious diseases attended by feverishness.
These tablets may be taken at any time, in a small quantity of water in which they will dissolve almost immediately.
Alkaline water, Eau de Vichy or water containing bicarbonate of soda, for instance, should be avoided.
OBTAINABLE AT ALL CHEMISTS.
