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.

- BOTANIC GUIDE TO HEALTH: If the writer of the above paragraph were living, we would advise him to take a strong decoction of this valuable herb on going to bed, the first time he had the misfortune to take cold, and adding to each dose half-a-teaspoonful of cayenne pepper, with a tablespoonful of good vinegar : we venture to assert that he never would risk his credit as a philosopher by writing such nonsense again.

Method as extracted
- Boil according to the source passage: If the writer of the above paragraph were living, we would advise him to take a strong decoction of this valuable herb on going to bed, the first time he had the misfortune to take cold, and adding to each dose half-a-teaspoonful of cayenne pepper, with a tablespoonful of good vinegar : we venture to assert that he never would risk his credit as a philosopher by writing such nonsense again. A syrup made of horehound and ginger-root, is excellent for children when attacked with the chincough, or for sudden colds ; or it may be pulverised and mixed with half its quantity of ginger, a teaspoonful of cayenne, and one of cloves ; this, when well sweetened and taken hot on going to bed, will be found to be one of the best medicines that can be obtained, COMFEEY.

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.
