    Von Henning's Extract from Mountain Ash Berries. The object of this Invention is to prepare an extract from the berries of the mountain ash, suitable more especially for being used medicinally, as I have discovered that the extract of these berries possesses medicinal properties of great value in cases of colds, influenzas, and such like. For 5 this purpose I boil or simmer the berries for about 4 hours in just sufficient water to cover them, I then strain off the liquor from the berries without compressing them, and I add to the liquor an equal quantity of sugar, and again boil or simmer it for about half an hour, and subsequently, whilst still warm I pour the prepared extract into 10 glasses or other suitable receptacles in which it will set as a jelly. What I claim is the preparation of an extract from the berries of the mountain ash, substantially as described. In witness whereof, I, the said Christian Yon Hennings, have hereunto set my hand and seal, this Sixteenth day of May, in 15 the year of our Lord One thousand eight hundred and seventy- three. C. YON HENNINGS, (l.s.) Signed, sealed, and delivered at Hamburg, this Sixteenth day 20 of May, 1873, Before me, John Henderson, for H. B. M. Consul.
