PREPARATION OF COMPOUND
EXTRACT BUCHU. The component
parts are, BUCHU, long Ieaf CUBEBS,
JUNIPER BERRIES.
MopE or PREPARAuoN.-Buchu, in av-
cue, Juniper Berries, by distillation, to
form a fine gin. Cubebs extracted by
displacement with spirits obtained from
Juniper Berries; very little sugar is used,
and small proportion of spirit. 1t is
more palatable than any nov in use.
Buchu, as prepared by Druggists, is of
a dark color. 1t is plant that emits its
fragrance; the action of fame destroys
this its active principIe) leaving a dark
and gutinous decoction. Mine is the co.
Tor of ingredients. The Buchu in my
preparation predominates the smallest
quantity of the other ingredients are add
ed, to prevent fermentation; upon IN
spection it will be found not to be a Tinct-
ure, as made in PharmacopGa, nor is it
Syrup-and therefore can be used in
cases where fever or inflammation exists.
In this you have the knowledge of the IN
gradients and the mode of preparation.
Hoping that you will favor it with a
trial, and that upon inspection it will
meet with your apprabation,
With feeling of profound confidence,
