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.

Method as extracted
- Distill according to the source passage: Add it to the usual oxidizing solution composed of 30 grains of red chromate of potassium, 25 minims of strong sulphuric acid, and half an ounce of water ; let the mixture stand a quarter of an hour, then distil half a fluid ounce. Treat the distillate with a slight excess of carbonate of sodium, boil rapidly down to tw-o 400 ALCOHOL AND ALLIED BODIES. fluid drachms, and drop in, cautiously, enough acetic acid to im- part a faint acid reaction ; pour the liquor into a test-tube about three-quarters of an inch in diameter ; add two drops of diluted acetic acid, E, P., and one grain of nitrate of silver in half a drachm of pure water ; apply heat, and boil gently for two minutes.
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.
Professional review advised
Professional review is advised before any practical use of this preparation.
- 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: 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.
