Method as extracted

  1. Mix according to the source passage: An extract originally made by water purges almost universally, but weakly; and at the same time has a considerable effect by urine: what remains after this process gripes violently. ‘The pure resin, prepared ‘by alcohol, occasions most violent gripings, and other distress- ing symptoms, but scarcely proves at all cathartic: triturated with sugar, or with almonds, into the form ofan emulsion, or dissolved in spirit, and mixed with syrups, it purges plentiful, ly in a small dose, without oceasioning much disorder ; the part of the jalap remaining after the separation of the resin yields to water an extract, which has no effect as a cathartic, byt operates powerfully by urine.

Automated flags at publication: no primary ingredient taxon link, title ingredient mismatch, quality score below 70, not marked promotable, critical hazard archive only. Publication makes the source extraction inspectable; it does not verify identity, completeness, efficacy or safety.
