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
- TaJce of hemlock fruit bruised, 2{ ounces; proof spirit, 1 pint
- Macerate the hemlock fruit for forty-eight hours, in fifteen fluid ounces of the spirit, in a closed vessel, agitating occasionally; then transfer to a percolator, and, when the fluid ceases to pass, continue the percolation with the remaining five ounces of spirit
- Afterwards subject the contents of the percolator to pressure, filter the product, mix the liquids, and add sufficient proof spirit to maJce one pint
- Peeparation. — Take of extract of hemlock, 60 grains; solution of potash, 1 fluid drachm; distilled ivater, 10 fluid drachms
- The only really useful preparation is therefore the succus, which Dr Harley, from extensive trial, recommends in the following doses : — For a child six months old, twenty to thirty drops ; over two years old, one drachm ; ten years old, one to two drachms
- For a woman, two to three drachms ; for a man, four to five drachms

- Put twenty minims of the mixture on a sponge, in a suitable apparatus, so that the vapour of hot water passing over it may be inhaled.
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, not marked promotable, critical hazard archive only. Publication makes the source extraction inspectable; it does not verify identity, completeness, efficacy or safety.
Professional review advised
Professional review is advised before any practical use of this 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: corrosive or toxic chemical, high risk botanical, invasive or sensitive route, pediatric or infant use.
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.
