Method as extracted

1. Macerate according to the source passage: Mr Phillips says it is employed as,an adjunct ‘to the decoction of sarsaparilla; but from Mr Brande we learn that it is a convenient and portable form for the ad- ‘ministration of sarsaparilla, is not liable to ferment, and is not disagreeable when diluted with water; that it has late- ly been much prescribed, and hence, probably, its introduc-. ,tion into the Pharmacopceia; that it is improved by the ad- | dition of a few cloves, and may be taken as an alterative in the dose of a desert spoonful three or four times a-day, and that the sugar is very apt to disagree with some stomachs. ° if ; | SYRUPUS TOLUIFERE BALSAMI..
