MODE OF PREPAaAT1oN.-Buchu, in vacuo.
Juniper Berries, by distillation to form fine
GIN. Cubebs extracted by displacement with
little sugar ia used, and a small proportion OF
spirit. 1t is more palatable than any now in
use.
Bnchu, as prepared by Druggists, is OF q
dark color. 1t il plant that emita it's fra
grance; the action of flame destroys this
its active principle } leaving dark and glu-
tinous decoction. Mine is the color OF ingro-
dients. Tho Buchu in my preparation pro-
dominates; the smallest quantity Of the other
ingredients arc added, to prevent fermenta-
tion; upon inspection. it will be found not to
DO Tinoture. as made in Pharmacoppia, nor is
it q syrup-and therefore can be used in cases
where fever or Inflammation exists. In this
you have the knowledge Of the ingredients
and the mode OF preparation.
Hoping that you will favor it with q trial,
and that upon inspection it will meet with
your appreciation. With feeling of CON
hdence, am, very respectfully,
