the nature of this invention, a communication to me from abroad by C. Strehler

This invention consists in a process for producing a herbal extract in compounding
which the following herbs are used, and comprises also the product of said
process:-
Ice plant (eiskraut), lancet leaved plantain (wegerich) dachhaus lach, carica
papaya, curled mint (krauseminze) and sage (salbei) are employed and while in
fresh condition very carefully and completely reduced to extract in suitable
apparatus, 30 parts of each said herb being taken and also 5 parts of lemon.
These herbs are pounded and placed in extracting vessels and treated with a
0.1% soda lye. The resulting extract is neutralized with muriatic acid and after
addition of 2 per cent. of sugar, is left about 8 days for fermentation. The
fermenting being finished, the whole mixture is subjected for about one hour to
the action of 10 per cent. peroxide of hydrogen at a temperature of 50 degrees
Centigrade.
This done, the mixture is concentrated by vacuum to the ordinary consistency of
an extractum fluidum."
