Ingredients or materials as extracted
- cayenne: Christison recommends a strong infusion of cayenne — a tea-spoonful in six fluid ounces of boiling water — to be used as a gargle in incipient sore throat — fever being absent. The tincture of capsicum is perhaps a more convenient preparation for this purpose, and may be used in the proportion of two drachms to five ounces of water.

Live editorial status
This record was published without a human-review gate by site policy. Automated flags at publication: primary taxon poison flag. 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.
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.
