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 six parts : dilute the product, if necessary, with distilled water till the density is 1005
- of Acetate of lead any convenient quan- tity : 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 pow- der to nine fluidrachms and a half of Pure sulphuric acid contained in a glass-mattrass : attach a proper 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 Jong as any thing' rises : squeeze the sublimate between folds of filtering-paper to remove the oil as much as possible ; and sublime 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, 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.
