RECALCIFICATION POWDER

H1988.705

Brown, rectangular box containing a brown glass bottle of "TRICALCINE", and a metal spoon with a long handle, used to measure and spoon out the powder. The box opens at the middle and has labels on all 4 sides bearing the brand name and instructions in French. A similar label is attached to the bottle and claims that the product Tricalcine combats the process of decalcification which leads to serious illnesses and heart conditions. One measure of Tricalcine should be taken with each meal,(half the dose for children under 10), and it should result in recalcification. The Tricalcine powder inside the bottle is white, fine and smells of vanilla.
