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
- Ointment for the Eyes. — ^Take of hogs' lard prepared, four ounces ; white wax, two drachms ; tutty prepared, one ounce : melt the wax with the lard over a gentle fire, and then sprinkle in the tutty, continually stirring them till the ointment is cold
- This ointment will be more ef- ficacious, and of a better consistence, if two or three drachms of camphor be rubbed up with a little oil, and intimately mixed with it
- Another.— Take of camphor, and calamine stone levigated, each six drachms ; verdigrise well prepared, two drachms ; hogs' lard and mutton snet, prepared, of each two ounces
- Issue Ointment— Mix half an ounce of Spanish flies, finely powdered, in six ounces of ointm.ent of yellow wax.— This ointment is chiefly in- tended for dressing blisters, in order to keep them open during pleasure
Method as extracted
- Rub the camphor well with the pow- der, afterwards mix in the lard and suet, continuing the triture till they be perfectly united.— This ointment has been long in esteem for diseases of the eyes : it ought, however, to be used with caution, when the eyes are much inflamed or very tender.
Live editorial status
This record was published without a human-review gate by site policy. Automated flags at publication: no primary ingredient taxon link, generic title requires manual verification, promotion title hygiene score below 90, 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, invasive or sensitive route.
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.
