Stomachic Tincture Recipe

Bruise a couple of ounces of Peruvian bark, one of bitter dried orange

peel. Steep them in a pint of proof spirit a fortnight, shaking up the

bottle that contains it once or twice every day. Let it remain untouched

for a couple of days, then decant the bitter into another bottle. A

tea-spoonful of this, in a wine glass of water, is a fine tonic.
