    I was under the impression that this describes the fake one, since this is report of a “misbranding” of Aspironal.

        Wait though! It may have had some of the same ingredients though, including belladonna!

        There’s a Facebook post I found from nearly ten years ago that lists a few things.

        • up to 15% alcohol
        • sodium salicylate, which is what aspirin is derived from (hence the name)
        • Cascara (laxative herb)
        • a small amount of mydriatic alkaloids, probably from belladonna
        • Menthol
