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.

- Macerate according to the source passage: Macerate for fourteen days, express, and filter through paper. 3 ‘‘This ‘Tincture may also be prepared by thoroughly moistening the Valerian, in powder, with Diluted Alcohol, allowing it to stand for twenty- four hours, then transferring it to an apparatus for displacement, and gra- dually pouring upon it Diluted Alcohol until two pints of filtered liquor are obtained.” U7, 8, The London College takes five ounces of bruised valerian, and two pints [Imperial measure] of proof spirit, and macerates for fourteen days; the Dublin, four ounces of the powdered root, and two pints of proof spirit, and macerates for seven days; the Edinburgh, five ounces of the former and two pints (Imp. meas.] of the latter, and proceeds by percolation or digestion as for the tincture of Peruvian bark. ‘This tincture possesses the properties of valerian, but cannot be given in ordinary cases, so as to produce the full effects of the root, without stimu- lating too highly in consequence of the large proportion of spirit. ‘The dose is from one to four fluidrachms.
