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
- Bicinus communis: having the capacity of about six fluid ounces and marked at exactly 1040 grain- measures
Method as extracted
- Distill according to the source passage: Chloride of Ammonium Rectified Spirit Ether > of each Distilled Water J 140 grains 60 grains 40 grains a sufficiency Triturate together the opium, lime, and 400 grain-measures of distilled water in a mortar until a uniform mixture results ; then add 1000 gram-measures of distilled water and stir occa- sionally during half an hour. Filter the mixture through a plaited filter about three inches in diameter into a wide- mouthed bottle or stoppered flask (having the capacity of about six fluid ounces and marked at exactly 1040 grain- measures) until the filtrate reaches this mark. To the filtered liquid (representing 100 grains of opium) add 110 grain- measures of rectified spirit and 500 grain-measures of ether, and shake the mixture ; then add the chloride of ammonium, shake well and frequently during half an hour, and set it aside for twelve hours.
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: controlled or narcotic, corrosive or toxic chemical.
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.
