RHODINE.

RHODINE means acetyl acid of the purest quality.

It is the equivalent of the German Aspline 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 RHODINE. From 1 to 6 tablets a day may be taken, according to physician's prescription.

RHODINE is a special remedy for acute rheumation. If taken in proper doses, it will often cure and always alleviate headache, neuralgia, stomachic pains etc, if those complaints find their origin in rheumatism.

It is very valuable in influenza, typhoid fever and in all kiada 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.
