Freshly expressed juices of plants were first introduced by Mr. Squire thirty years ago ; five are now made officinal. In the preparation of juices from fresh plants, the hazard attending the drying of the plant is avoided, and also the dangers which attend evaporation in the process for extracts. To each three parts of the juice obtained by expression, one part of rectified spirit is added to preserve it from decomposition. The juices form an excellent illustration of the influ- ences of climate, soil, and season upon medicinal plants, their value being greatly modified by these causes. Succus. Belladonna?.
