Preparation:
Moisten
the wild cherry with 100ml of water. Pack in a percolator and add
sufficient quantity of water to leave a layer of it above the powder.
Macerate for 1 hour then proceed with rapid percolation, using added
water until 400ml of percolate is collected. Filter the percolate and
dissolve the sucrose in this by agitation, add the glycerin, alcohol
and sufficient quantity of water to make the finished product measure
1000ml. Strain if necessary.
This

placing it in a second percolator as directed for preparing syrup and
allowing the percolate from the wild cherry to flow through it into a
graduated vessel containing the glycerin and alcohol until the total
volume measures 1000ml.
Remarks:
Heat is avoided in the manufacture of this preparation, as it will
inactivate the enzyme emulsin and therefore the preparation would not
contain free hydrocyanic acid upon which the sedative action mainly
depends.
