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.

Method as extracted
- Infuse according to the source passage: This disease proceeds from too much choler or phlegm in habits which abound with gross humours and living high ; when it happens externally it is improper to repel the humour, but give medi- cine to correct it, which may be cool purges of salts, jalap, mountain flax infusion, or the sweet wood decoction* or vegetable sirup may be taken m Of the Itch. in any quantity : some blood may be let from the arm, and a poultice applied to the part made of powder of linseed, two ounces, boil in half a pint of milk, and lay on the part warm, or a common poultice made of wheaten bread and milk with a little hog's lard added. Imposthumes often hap- pen after fevers, which carry off’ the disease when ripe, they may be opened with a lancet and dressed with basilicon or any other plaster which draws and heals : to correct the habit, one or two of the imperial pills may be taken once or twice a day, and continue until the abscess is cured.
Live editorial status
This record was published without a human-review gate by site policy. Automated flags at publication: primary taxon poison flag, not marked promotable, critical hazard archive only. Publication makes the source extraction inspectable; it does not verify identity, completeness, efficacy or safety.
External use only
This boundary permits external context only. Do not convert it into an internal 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: high risk botanical.
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.
