TINCTURE OF MATICO.
| Bruised matico, | 100 parts. |
| Alcohol at 85°, | 400 parts. |
Macerate for 10 days, express and filter. The tincture may also be obtained by lixiviation from the powder.
It is used both internally and externally as a vulnerary; it must in the first instance be diluted with water.
Matico not being poisonous, practitioners can trace its application through the widest range.
We will again repeat that we only give these formulæ that they may be experimented on; we shall hereafter give further comments on the choice to be made amongst them.—Bulletin Thèr: 30th January, 1852.
