sand bath during about six hours, and afterwards passed through a sieve and
pressed.
Thirdly, the liquid thus obtained is mixed with the oil, put into the still, and
submitted to violent ebullition on the sand bath during about ten hours.

ained in and by the following statement thereof, that is to say:

The plants are first left to infuse in the wine during about twenty-four
ours, and the whole is then submitted to ebullition during about six hours in
suitable matrass on a sand bath, and afterwards passed through a sieve and
ressed. The clear liquid thus obtained is mixed with the oil, put into the
natrass, and submitted to violent ebullition on the sand bath during ten hours.
After this operation the turpentine, saffron, and sulphur are added and well
nixed with a portion of the liquid taken from the matrass, into which the
vhole is then placed and allowed to simmer on the sand bath for about twelve
o fourteen hours.
The matrass must be closed during the operation, which, when completed, the

page_text: contents are allowed to cool, and are then poured into a vessel and well shaken.
The preparation thus obtained may now be put into bottles and well corked.
Having now described the nature of the said Invention, and in what manner
the same is to be performed, I would have it understood that I do not. confine
myself to the precise proportions of ingredients herein laid down; but what I
claim is, the production of an suppurative or healing preparation as herein-
before described.
In witness whereof, I, the said Peter Armand le Comte de Fontaine
Moreau, have hereto set my hand and seal, this Twenty-sixth day of
August, in the year of our Lord One thousand eight hundred and
