Year: 1872

page_text: LETTERS PATENT to Christian Von Hennings, of the City of
Hamburg, for the Invention of "THE PREPARATION OF AN EXTRACT
FROM THE BERRIES OF THE MOUNTAIN ASH (PYRUS) (German EbeRESCHE).”
Sealed the 13th May 1873, and dated the 2nd December 1872.
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said Christian Von Hennings
at the Office of the Commissioners of Patents, with his Petition,
on the 2nd December 1872.
I, CHRISTIAN VON HENNINGS, of the City of Hamburg, do hereby
declare the nature of the said Invention for "THE PREPARATION OF AN
EXTRACT FROM THE BERRIES OP THE MOUNTAIN ASH (PYRUS) (GERMAN,
EBERESCHE)," to be as follows :—
The object of this Invention is to prepare an extract from the berries
of the mountain ash, suitable more especially for being used medicinally,
as I have discovered that the extract of these berries possesses medicinal
properties of great value in cases of colds, influenzas, and such like. For
this purpose I boil or simmer the berries for about four hours in just
sufficient water to cover them, I then strain off the liquor from the

page_text: berries without compressing them, and I add to the liquor an equal
quantity of sugar, and again boil or simmer it for about half an hour,
and subsequently, whilst still warm, I pour the prepared extract into
glasses or other suitable receptacles, in which it will set as a jelly.
SPECIFICATION in pursuance of the conditions of the Letters Patent,
filed by the said. Christian Von Hennings in the Great Seal Patent
Office on the 30th May 1873.
TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, I, CHRISTIAN
VON HENNINGS, of the City of Hamburg, send greeting.
