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.

Ingredients or materials as extracted
- IRON: 41 an emetic given at the commencement of continued fevers, will sometimes cut short their progress, or if it fail in accomplish- ing this object, will give to the subsequent symptoms a milder aspect, and with this view, fifteen or twenty grains of ipeca- cuan powder may be used with great advantage. In doses of two or three grains repeated every three or four hours, till it operates by vomiting, sweating, or purging
Method as extracted
- Grind according to the source passage: 41 an emetic given at the commencement of continued fevers, will sometimes cut short their progress, or if it fail in accomplish- ing this object, will give to the subsequent symptoms a milder aspect, and with this view, fifteen or twenty grains of ipeca- cuan powder may be used with great advantage. In doses of two or three grains repeated every three or four hours, till it operates by vomiting, sweating, or purging, it is found of emi- nent utility in dysentery and chronic looseness; indeed, its effects in these severe complaints are often invaluable, and it is, perhaps, the most beneficial aperient in dysentery ; for when we can bring it to act in this way, it produces a steady determi- nation of the peristaltic motion of the bowels downwards, at the same time that it strengthens their internal surface, and relaxes the skin.

This record was published without a human-review gate by site policy. Automated flags at publication: no primary ingredient taxon link, non botanical title identity, not herbal remedy, not marked promotable. Publication makes the source extraction inspectable; it does not verify identity, completeness, efficacy or safety.

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.
