Celery Seed ...................... 2 ounces.
Alcohol, 95 per cent, deodorized, and water, each a sufficient quantity.
Bruise the Celery Seed finely, pack in a small percolator, and gradually pour on a pint of alcohol; then add water until first a pint of tincture and then a pint of infusion has passed; mix these, triturate with a dram of carbonate of magnesia, and filter through paper. As thus made, extract of celery has a light brown color, an agreeable odor and a well marked taste of celery.
