Under this name a class of preparations have been intro- 
duced into this country [England] by Mr. Squire. They 
are made by expressing the juices from plants, at the

their volume of rectified spirit, allowing the mixture to

the following are made: — Preserved juices of wormwood, 
aconite, conium, digitalis, hyoscyamus, lettuce, dande- 
lion, Sf'C.

cial gems, candies, artificial mineral waters, and perfumed 
waters. With the latter is the following curious account
