Camphorated Emulsion.
Take of Camphor, half a drachm; sweet almonds, half a dozen; white sugar, half an ounce; mint water, eight ounces. Grind the camphor and almonds well together in a stone mortar, and add by degrees the mint water; then strain the liquor, and dissolve in it the sugar.
In fevers, and other disorders which require the use of camphor, a table-spoonful of this emulsion may be taken every two or three hours.
