- Macerate according to the source passage: Macerate for fourteen days, express, and filter through paper. ‘This Tincture may also be prepared by thoroughly moistening the Colchicum Seed, in powder, with Diluted Alcohol, allowing it to stand for twenty-four hours, then transferring it to an apparatus for displacement, and gradually pouring upon it Diluted Alcohol until two pints of filtered liquor are obtained.” U. _ The London College orders five ounces of the bruised seeds, two pints [Imperial measure] of proof spirit, and maceration for two weeks; the Dublin, two ounces of the former and a pint of the latter, and the same maceration. ‘The Hdinburgh College takes five ounces of the seeds finely ground in a coffee-mill, and two pints [Imp. meas.] of proof spirit; and prepares the tincture in the same manner as the tincture of Peruvian bark, either by percolation or digestion; preferring, however, the former process. | This tincture possesses the active properties of colchicum, and may be given whenever that medicine is indicated; but the wine, which contains less alcohol, is generally preferred. ‘The dose is from half a fluidrachm to two fluidrachms. ‘The tincture is sometimes used as an embrocation in rheumatic, gouty, and neuralgic pains.
