More
This clear glass bottle contains Pulverettes of Phenacetin. It was used for neuralgia and migraine. Phenacetin is an analgesic. This is a painkiller and fever reducer. It acts on the central nervous system. Phenacetin was first used in 1887. It was used extensively in ‘over the counter’ medications. This example was produced in London by chemist Oppenheimer, Son and Company Limited.
The drug was withdrawn from the US market in 1983 because of suspected links with kidney disease.
