Exact source claims and related context are never blended together.
This hierarchy shows why a use appears beside the preparation. The strongest relationship comes first; contextual links remain explicitly labeled.
The preparation remains searchable as an archival method record without an invented indication.
Automated live-review record
This formula was extracted automatically from a historical source and published directly for live editorial inspection. It may contain OCR, title, botanical-identity, ingredient, structure or safety errors. Do not use it as treatment, dosage or self-care guidance.

Ingredients or materials as extracted
- of Purified quicksilver, three ounces, Diluted nitrous acid, four ounces and a half, or a little more than may be required for dis- solving the quicksilver, Acetite of potass, three ounces, Boiling water, eight pounds
Method as extracted
- Take of Purified quicksilver, three ounces, Diluted nitrous acid, four ounces and a half, or a little more than may be required for dis- solving the quicksilver, Acetite of potass, three ounces, Boiling water, eight pounds.
- Mix the quicksilver with the diluted nitrous acid, and afier the effervescence has ceased, digest if necessary, with a gentle heat, until the quicksilver be entirely dissolv- ed.
- Then dissolve the acetite of potass in the boiling water, and immediately to this solution, still hot, add the former, and mix them by agitation.
- Place the crystals ina funnel, and wash them with cold distilled water; and, lastly, dry them wiih as gentle a heat as possible.
Live editorial status
This record was published without a human-review gate by site policy. Automated flags at publication: no primary ingredient taxon link, promotion title hygiene failed, not marked promotable, critical hazard archive only. Publication makes the source extraction inspectable; it does not verify identity, completeness, efficacy or safety.
Toxic / do not self-use
Do not self-use. The record remains public for historical, botanical and hazard research.
- Unreviewed automated import: this record is public for live editorial inspection and has not passed manual identity, formula or safety review.
- Historical formula: ingredient identity, strength, contamination risk and terminology may differ from modern practice.
- Do not use this record as dosage or treatment guidance. Every ingredient, route and contraindication requires qualified editorial verification.
- The historical use wording does not establish modern clinical effectiveness.
- Automated review flags: toxic metal or mineral.
Primary wording. Visible interpretation. No borrowed certainty.
The public record separates the historical passage, structured preparation data, use relationship and modern safety boundary. Same-plant context is presented as context, never as proof that this preparation was intended for that use.
