Menthol Cough Drops

Gelatin…………………       1 ounce
Glycerine (by weight)      2 ˝ ounces
Orange-flower water…     2 ˝ ounces
Menthol………………..       5 grains
Rectified spirits……….       1 drachm

 Soak the gelatin in the water for 2 hours, then heat on a water bath until dissolved, and add 1 ˝ ounces of glycerine. Dissolve the menthol in the spirit, mix with the remainder of the glycerine, add to the glycol-gelatin mass, and pour into an oiled tin tray (such as the lid of a biscuit box) When the mass is cold divide into 10 dozen pastilles.

 Menthol pastilles are said to be an excellent remedy for tickling cough as well as laryngitis. They should be freshly prepared, and cut oblong, so that the patient may take half of one, or less, as may be necessary.
