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.

Ingredients or materials as extracted
- opium: with the most happy effects? who could not take opium in any other form. For slight inflammation of the eyes, two drops of lau- danum, dropped within the eyelids twice a day, will often succeed in dispersing the inflammation much sooner than the saturnine lotions
Method as extracted
- Macerate according to the source passage: Lemon juice, and vinegar, for this purpose, are equally effica- cious, in the quantity of half a wineglassful. (See the Treatment of Vegetable Poisons.) An acetic tincture of opium, sold under the name of Black Drop , has been preferred by some practitioners to the liquid laudanum, on account of its not affecting the head or stomach, or producing that nervous irritability which too frequently follows the exhibition of laudanum. The acetic acid with which this tincture is made, so corrects the opium, that patients have certainty been able to persevere in its use with the most happy effects? who could not take opium in any other form. For slight inflammation of the eyes, two drops of lau- danum, dropped within the eyelids twice a day, will often succeed in dispersing the inflammation much sooner than the saturnine lotions.

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.
