AQUILA Pharmaceutica Polesana Purging Chocolate Tin Box - Rovigo Chocolate Purge Tin Box EAGLE. Pharmaceutica Polesana - Rovigo. In the first half of the 1900s there were an incredible number of purgants on the market, unfortunately based on phenolphthalein, a molecule that in the 1990s proved not only toxic to the human body, but also carcinogenic. The trademark filing of the purgeant Eagle happened in Rome in 1936. The can contained sachets of purgative powder mixed with cocoa, to be added to water or milk. The variant also existed in the form of chocolate.
