Improvements in Non-alcoholic Medicated Liquors or Cordials for
Use as a Beverage.
I JOHN FOULIS of 28 Market Street Musselburgh, in the County of Midlothian
North Britain Chemist do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in
and by the following statement. :-
The non-alcoholic medicated liquor or cordial for use as a beverage consists of a
solution of the active principles or ingredients of the Galipca officinalis or Bonplandia
trifoliata Bark in conjunction with mineral & vegetable acids, aromatics salts and
saccharine or Glyceroidal matter or a combination of both and is compounded as
follows. To an aromatic infusion or decoction of the bark there is added such a pro-
portion of Nitric Hydrochloric or sulphuric acid preferably the latter as will convert
the alkaloidal matter into salts or saline compounds & metamorphose the resin & bitter
extractive or at least so act upon them as either to change modify or greatly enhance
their therapeutic effects. The quantity of either acid or a combination of them
necessary to effect the change will vary with the quality of the bark used, or the
strength of the infusion or decoction employed; but on an average need not exceed
from one half to one third per cent. When the action of the acid is completed, there
is added to the resultant liquor a proportion of Benzoic Boracic or Salicylic acid,
preferably the latter, or the soda or potash salts of same, the quantity of either
substance or a combination of them, being subject to the same rule as that stated for
the mineral acids, the medium average being from one fifth to one tenth per cent.
There is next added to the compound liquor a proportion of sugar syrup or other
discription of saccharine matter, or an equivelent quantity of the "Hydrated oxid of
Glyceryle popularly termed Glycerine preferably the latter the quantity of
either depending on the gravity of the liquor or cordial wished to be produced the
medium average ranging from ten to fifteen per cent.
" ፡፡
Having now particularly described & ascertained the nature of my said Invention
& in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is
"The use of the Galipea officinalis or Bonplandia trifoliata Bark in conjunction
with any or all of the substances named, especially with those mentioned as being
preferred and in particular with that of the "Hydrated oxid of Glyceryle,"
popularly termed Glycerine," in the manner described, for the purpose of producing
a non-alcoholic medicated liquor or cordial for use as a beverage.'
