[Illustration: Figure 15.--TURLINGTON'S BALSAM OF LIFE bottles as pictured in a brochure dated 1755-1757, preserved in the Pennsylvania Historical Society, Philadelphia, Pa. According to Turlington, the bottle was adopted in 1754 "to prevent the villainy of some persons who, buying up my empty bottles, have basely and wickedly put therein a vile spurious counterfeit sort."] For those who persist in using the formulas of the early English patent medicines, recipes are still available. Turlington's Balsam remains as an unofficial synonym of U.S.P. Compound Tincture of Benzoin. Concerning its efficacy, the _United States dispensatory_[126] states: "The tincture is occasionally employed internally as a stimulating expectorant in chronic bronchitis. More frequently it is used as an inhalent ... It has also been recommended in chronic dysentery ... but is of doubtful utility." [126] _The dispensatory of the United States of America_, 25th ed., Philadelphia, 1955, p. 158. A formula for Godfrey's Cordial, under the title of Mixture of Opium and Sassafras, is still carried in the _Pharmaceutical recipe book_.[127] _Remington's practice of pharmacy_[128] retains a formula for Dalby's Carminative under the former _National formulary_ title of Carminative Mixture.
