Hey ironmountain,
Does that say "Darvon"? There appears to be some other language, as well. Could'ya tell us optically challenged types what that might be.
Should it be Darvon, given the recent recall and attendant hand wringing, coupled with it's opiate appeal, I'd say you hit a homer.
"The active ingredient in painkillers Darvon and Darvocet is propoxyphene, first developed by Eli Lilly & Co. and introduced to the U.S. market in 1957. Propoxyphene is an opioid used to treat mild to moderate pain." From.

Front of the jar says:
Darvon Compound-65
65mg. prpoxyphene hydrochloride, 227mg. aspirin, 162mg phenacetin, and 32.4 mg. caffeine....
almost sounds like an ECA stack for cutting weight...except for the narcotics for pain.
and the ever popular and 'safe': phenacetin.
"Phenacetin was widely used until the third quarter of the twentieth century, often in the form of an "A.P.C." or aspirin-phenacetin-caffeine compound analgesic, as a remedy for fever and pain. However the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ordered the withdrawal of drugs containing phenacetin in November 1983, owing to its carcinogenic and kidney-damaging properties." from Wikipedia
