   “It is known that p-arsanilic acid prepared by direct arsenation of aniline contains diphenylarsinic acid as impurity, and recently it has been pointed out that a fairly large quantity of o-arsanilic acid is present. Unless this is removed, Arsphenamine obtained from arsanilic acid will also contain o-Arsphenamine, and, since little is known of this latter substance, its presence in the drug might be injurious.”
