Note 569 — PHARMACOLOGIA. (continued 5)
Reading edition
M. Henry has given us the most simple formula for the preparation of this substance. It consists in boiling Nux Vomica in water, and evaporating the decoction until it acquires the consistence of Syrup; lime is then added, which unites with the acid, and liberates the Strychnia; which may then be separated by means of alcohol, from which it may be obtained by crystallization.
