Essence of Ginger. Unbleached Jamaica ginger in coarse powder 5 oz., rectified spirit a pint; digest for 8 days and strain with pressure; or it may be made by percolation. As there is no established form, it varies in strength as prepared by different makers, and often contains Cayenne pepper.

ssence of Cubebs. Mix powdered cubebs with ether, in a well-stopped bottle; in twelve hours put the paste into a percolator, and add ether till the cubebs are nearly exhausted; distil off the ether in a water-bath, and preserve it for the same purpose. Dissolve the extract which remains in three times as much brandy. One drachm is equal to 2 drachms of the powder. A fluid extract is also made by concentrating the tinctui'e.

Essences of Mint, Peppermint, and Pennyroyal. The strength of these varies as prepared by different makers; some use 1 part of the essential oil to 3 of rectified spirit, but more usually, we believe, 1 part to 7. They are sometimes coloured with the leaves of the plant, or of spinach.

Essence of Sarsaparilla. [See also Extractum SarzAe Liquidum, Liquor SarzAe, and Essentia SarsaparillAe, in Pocket Formulary. The latter is an elegant and efficacious preparation.] Jamaica sarsaparilla 16 oz., lukewarm distilled water (100° to 112° F.) sufficient to cover it. Macerate for 6 hours, and strain. Bruise the root, macerate it again in sufficient warm water, and repeat the maceration with fresh water until it ceases to be much coloured. After straining, let the mixed liquids be immediately heated to 180° F., allowed to cool, and filtered. Evaporate the whole of the filtrate by a water or steam-bath, at a heat not above 160°, until reduced to 14 or 15 fluid ounces; add 2 ounces of rectified spirit, and keep it in a close bottle in a cool place for a few days. Then carefully pour off the clear liquid from any sediment into a clean dry bottle. 1 fluid ounce represents 1 oz. of the root, or 8 ounces of the decoction.

Compound Essence of Sarsaparilla. Jamaica sarsaparilla 16 oz.; proceed as above, but reserve the liquor of the last maceration for boiling the other ingredients; namely, guaiacum raspings, bruised liquorice root, sassafras, each 2 oz., mezereon 3/4 oz. Boil them in 4 or more pints of the weak infusion for 1/2 an hour, and strain; evaporate to 4 fluid ounces; let it cool, stirring it occasionally, and add 2 oz. of rectified spirit in which a few drops of oil of sassafras have been dissolved. Evaporate the sarsaparilla liquid to 11 ounces, and when cool add the other liquid. Proceed as for the former. One measure with 7 of water forms a near approximation to the Pharmacopoeia Decoction.
