Tinctures are not liable to spoil, as it is 
called, but they must nevertheless be kept 
in well closed phials, especially when they 
contain active ingredients, to prevent the 
evaporation of the menstruum. 
They generally operate in doses so small, 
that they are rarely exhibited by them- 
selves, but commonly combined with some 
vehicle. In choosing the latter, we must 
select some substance which does not de- 
compose the tincture, or at least separates 
nothing from it in a palpable form. 
The London college direct all tinctures, 
except that of muriate of iron, to be pre- 
pared in closed phials. 
The Dublin college explain, that, when 
they order substances to be digested, they 
mean it be done with a low degree of heat ; 
and when they are to be macerated, it is to 
be done with a degree of heat between 60° 
and 90°.
