Ingredients or materials as extracted
- elder: Frankel recommends as a suitable gargle in such cases 2 drachms of nitrate of potash dissolved in 4 or 5 cupfuls of infusion of elder-flowers, together with 4 spoonfuls of wine-vinegar and 2 spoonfuls of honey; and Dewees orders in cynanche tonsillaris equal parts of it and sugar to be taken, so as to dissolve slowly in the mouth in small quantities at a time.

Live editorial status
This record was published without a human-review gate by site policy. Automated flags at publication: primary taxon poison flag. 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.
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.
