8 Piscineum — is the essential part of fish. This new remedy
9 well deserves the attention of medical men. I have seen great
10 benefits result from its use, and discovered properties in it which
11 1 had not before heard of. Being cheap, and easily prepared, and
12 not a disgusting thing, it ought to be generally used. I pre-
13 pared it from equal parts of fishgall and alcohol ; after having
14 been well-shaken, I let it settle, and then, decanted the essence
15 — which, like all those medicines which are prepared from animal
16 substances, should be preserved, well closed, and shut up in a
17 dark place.
