One green paneled bottle contains seven and one-half fluid ounces of a

brownish-yellow, semi-clear, very sweet, thickish liquid, of a tarry

odor, and pronounced taste and smell of chloroform. From a close

easily made In the following way:



Rub well together:--



Liquid Tar 5 grains

Fluid Extract Hemlock 1 fluid dram

Powdered White Sugar 2 ounces av.

Alcohol 1/2 fluid ounce

Aquae 1-1/2 fluid ounces

Molasses 3 ounces av.

Fluid Extract Ipecac 8 minims



Mix well and add finally



Chloroform 1 fluid dram
