LAUDANUM

This article appears in Volume V16, Page 278 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: LAP-LEO
LAUDANUM , originally the name given by
Paracelsus
  to a famous medical preparation of his own composed of gold, pearls, &c. (
Opera
 , 1658, i. 492/2), but containing
opium
  as its
chief
  ingredient. The
term
  is now only used for the alcoholic
tincture
  of
opium
  (q.v.). The name was either invented by
Paracelsus
  from Lat. laudare to praise, or was a corrupted form of " ladanum " (Gr. Xi76avov, from Pers. ladan), a resinous juice or gum obtained from various kinds of the Cistus
shrub
 , formerly used medicinally in external applications and as a stomachic, but now only in
perfumery
  and in making fumigating pastilles, &c.
