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.

If the tumours which appear about the neck are anointed with the anodyne ointment, it will dissolve them ; or equal parts of oil and spirit of hartshorn mixed tog-ether, and rub the tumours with a little, once or twice a day ; the part must be kept warm, and a hemlock poultice applied to the part, will be good in obstinate cases ; if the tumours should break, use a bath made of sea water to cleanse the wounds, and afterwards apply a plaster of the anodyne ointment, if the wounds are hollow and the bone carious, use this : Take chamomile flowers, a handful : boil in a pint of water, fifteen minutes, strain and add tinc- ture of myrrh, one ounce: inject with a syringe into the wound, once a day, and take one or two of the imperial pills once a day, wash down with the decoction of elm bark as directed in the scurvy, by which means I have cured many patients who had scrofulous ulcers all over their bodies.
Live editorial status
This record was published without a human-review gate by site policy. Automated flags at publication: no primary ingredient taxon link, title ingredient mismatch, 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, corrosive or toxic chemical, high risk botanical, serious disease claim.
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.
