I, JAMES RUTHERFORD COCHRANE of the Firm of Bayliss and Cochrane of Cromac
Street Belfast in the County of Antrim Ireland Aërated and Mineral Water Manu-
facturers do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The above invention relates to the introduction of the alkaloid known by the
name of beberiæ sulphas or sulphate of beberine into the manufacture and preparation
of mineral and aërated waters which I find to be of great benefit.
The above drug beberiæ sulphas is obtained from bebeern bark the bark of nectandra
rodiei or greenhart tree and is a sulphate of an alkaloid therefrom.
In manufacturing my improved beverage I take beberiæ sulphas or sulphate of
beberine in or about the following proportions.
Having first prepared the usual flavoured syrup, I take one gallon of the syrup and
then add 160 grains of beberine sulphate and of this compound syrup two fluid
ounces is to be added to each ten ounce bottle of carbonised water (equal to two
grains of beberine sulphate in each bottle).
This mineral aerated beverage may be used with good effect as a substitute for
quinine and will be found beneficial as a febrifuge and corrective or tonic in many
cases such for instance as in neuralgia and nervous weakness.
Dated this 2nd day of July 1889.
