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

Ingredients or materials as extracted
- Materia Medica: He evaporated a watery infusion of opium to the consistence of syrup, and digested the gritty precipitate formed by this eva- poration in hot alcohol : as the solution cooled, a salt formed, which by repeated solutions and crystallizations was obtained free from the resin, of a white colour, and in rectangular prisms with rhomboidal bases ; these were inodorous, insipid, insoluble in cold water, but soluble in 400 pa
Method as extracted
- Infuse according to the source passage: He evaporated a watery infusion of opium to the consistence of syrup, and digested the gritty precipitate formed by this eva- poration in hot alcohol : as the solution cooled, a salt formed, which by repeated solutions and crystallizations was obtained free from the resin, of a white colour, and in rectangular prisms with rhomboidal bases ; these were inodorous, insipid, insoluble in cold water, but soluble in 400 parts of boiling water; soluble in 100 parts of cold, and 24 of boiling alcohol ; soluble in hot ether and the volatile oils, but separating as these fluids cooled ; and very soluble in all the acids. Given to dogs, it produced the effects of a strong dose of opium : but these were readily relieved by vinegar.
Live editorial status
This record was published without a human-review gate by site policy. 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.
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.
- Automated review flags: controlled or narcotic, 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.
