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
- of Vinegar (French, by preference) eight parts : distil over with a gentle heat seven parts : dilute the product, if necessary, with distilled water, till the density is 1005
- of Acetate of lead any convenient quantity : heat it gradually in a porcelain basin by means of a bath of oil or fusible metal, (8 tin, 4 lead, 3 bismuth) to 320° F. ; and stir till the fused mass concretes again : pulverize this when cold, and heat the powder again to 320°, with frequent stirring, till the particles cease to accrete
- Add six ounces of the powder to nine flui- drachms and a half of Pure sulphuric add contained in a glass-mattrass : attach a pro- per tube and refrigeratory ; and distil from a fusible -metal-bath with a heat of 320^ to complete dryness
- of Benzoin any convenient quantity : put it into a glass-mattrass ; and by means of a gradually increasing heat sublime as long as any thing rises : squeeze the subli- mate between folds of filtering-paper to re- move the oil as much as possible ; and sub- lime the residuum again

Live editorial status
This record was published without a human-review gate by site policy. Automated flags at publication: no primary ingredient taxon link, promotion title hygiene failed, 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.
