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.

Ingredients or materials as extracted
- Yellow Mercuric Oxide: 199 Reduce the persulphate of mercury and the chloride of sodium each to fine powder, and having mixed them and the oxide of manganese thoroughly by trituration in a mortar, put the mixture into an apparatus adapted for sublimation, and apply sufficient heat to cause vapours of perchloride of mercury to rise into the less heated part of the apparatus which has been arranged for their condensation.
Method as extracted
- Grind according to the source passage: 199 Reduce the persulphate of mercury and the chloride of sodium each to fine powder, and having mixed them and the oxide of manganese thoroughly by trituration in a mortar, put the mixture into an apparatus adapted for sublimation, and apply sufficient heat to cause vapours of perchloride of mercury to rise into the less heated part of the apparatus which has been arranged for their condensation.
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: toxic metal or mineral.
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.
