Exact source claims and related context are never blended together.
This hierarchy shows why a use appears beside the preparation. The strongest relationship comes first; contextual links remain explicitly labeled.
The preparation remains searchable as an archival method record without an invented indication.

Ingredients or materials as extracted
- gum-guaiacum at bed-time in: the dose formerly mentioned twice a-day, and likewise a tea-spoonful of the volatile tincture of gum-guaiacum at bed-time in wine-whey
Method as extracted
- Macerate according to the source passage: Aebuthnot says, ‘ If there be a specific in aliment for the rheumatism, it is certainly whey;’ and adds, ‘That he knew a person subject to this disease, who could never be cured by any other method but by a diet of whey and bread.’ He likewise says, ‘That cream of tartar in water-gruel, taken for several days, will case rheu- matic pains considerably.’ This I have often experienced, but found it always more efficacious when joined with gum guaiacum, as already directed. In this case the patient may take the dose formerly mentioned twice a-day, and likewise a tea-spoonful of the volatile tincture of gum-guaiacum at bed-time in wine-whey.
