Making an old pain and fever medication (2017x19)

Air date: May 20, 2017

Today I will be making acetanilide, which was historically used as a pain reliever. It was discovered in 1886 and sold under the brand name Antifebrin by the company Kalle & Co. It has since been completely replaced by paracetamol/acetaminophen.
