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.

Method as extracted
- Macerate according to the source passage: Of course, in cases where the state of the gum is indicative of constitutional affection that must be attended to (see Scurvy, ct-c. ), but the condition of the gums, in any case, may gene- rally be much relieved by the use of astringent substances in the form of washes ; none, perhaps, is better than the tincture of myrrh, but camphor dissolved in alcohol may also be used, or, indeed, almost any one of the astrin- gents. A drachm of alum dissolved in a pint of water makes a very good and cheap wash. In the case of black-looking gums, with foetid exhalation, a wash made of two drachms of hydrochloric acid to the pint of water will be found most useful, or two drachms of the solution of chlorate of soda or chlorate of potash, may be used with equally good effect.
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.

- 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.
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.
