3 lbs. Glucose.
3 oz. Acid Tartaric.
½ oz. Oil Aniseed.
¼ oz. Oil Cloves.
¼ oz. Oil Peppermint.
2 oz. Herb Horehound.
5 pints Water.
Process.—First boil the herb horehound in the water ten minutes, then strain; add the liquor to the sugar and the glucose, and boil as for other drops to crack 310; pour on oiled slab; turn up the edges and fold in the boil, then put the tartaric acid in a little heap on the boil, and pour over it the aniseed, clove and peppermint, knead up the whole, thoroughly mixing the flavors until stiff enough to pass through machine cough drop rollers.
