Succi.—There are five formulae for Juices in the British Pharma- copoeia. Freshly exposed juices of plants were first introduced by Mr Squire thirty years ago; five are now made official. 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 influences of climate, soil, and season upon medi- cinal plants, their value being greatly modified by these causes. Succus. Belladonnce. Conii.
