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.

Method as extracted
- Macerate according to the source passage: Tinctures are not of very extensive use as remedies, except in cases where stimulants are indicated; the solvent, even in doses of a few fluid drachms, often acting more powerfully on the living system than the principles it holds in solution, In ordinary cases, this action, when continued for some time, produces the same deleterious effects as the habitual use of ardent spirits; and often lays the foundation of the pernicious custom of dram drinking. .~When the action of a substance is the reverse of stimulant, it cannot with propriety be exhibited in this form, unless the dose be so small that the operation of the spirit cannot be taken into account, as in tincture of fox- glove. ‘The chief use of this class of preparations, therefore, is to enable infusions and decoctions, to which they are added, to sit lighter on the stomach, or to add to them some active principle which water is incapable of extracting.
