Four ounces of this syrup contain two drachms of extract, 
equivalent to ten of the powdered cubebs. A tea spoonful 
may be taken as a dose in water. 
M. Labelonye has devised a method of administering the 
cubebin in the form of sugar-plumbs of an ovoid form, which 
enclose the substance and prevent its contact with the mouth 
and throat. These plumbs, when moistened, are easily swal- 
lowed; their solution in the stomach is facilitated by the ac- 
tion of the muriatic acid therein contained, and their action 
upon the organs is rendered more immediate. Each contains 
six grains of cubebin. 
The following is the formula: 
Hyd. ale. ether, ext. of cubebs, §viij. 
Mucil. of tragacanth, §i. 
Mix intimately and add a sufficient quantity of refined li- 
quorice. 
Form the above into a mass, and divide into pills, so that 
each shall contain six grains of the cubebin. Dry them with 
moderate heat, and envelope them with sugar, as in the ordi- 
nary sugar-plumb. Bull. gen. de Therap.
