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.

Ingredients or materials as extracted
- Mix 2 ounces of the Glycerine witli 2 ounces of the water in a flask, and in this mixture digest the Bromine and Iron, keeping the flask cool by immersing in cold water to prevent too rapid action during the first stage of the process ; then heat slightly if necessary, shak- ing occasionally, until the froth becomes white
- Then filter the liquid into 20 ounces of Glycer- ine, rinse the flask and Iron Wire, and wash the filter with the remaining ounce of water
- Mix, and make the jji'oduct measure, when cold, 26 ounces
- This contains about 5 grains of Ferrous Bromide Dose : — A tea-spoonful in water ; less for children in proportion to age

Live editorial status
This record was published without a human-review gate by site policy. Automated flags at publication: no primary ingredient taxon link, 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: pediatric or infant use.
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.
