Method for manufacturing a tonic composition for man and other animals

A method for manufacturing a composition, comprising:

• a. preparing wood vinegar by heating and cooling chips of wood and bark and then allowing said wood vinegar to stand at rest and separate into two layers, removing the supernatant layer, washing the supernatant with benzene and then distilling the washed supernatant thereby obtaining refined wood vinegar free of soluble tars unsuitable for ingestion by man or other animals;
• b. immersing in said refined wood vinegar leaves of plants in an amount in the range of about 0.1 to 10 parts by weight per 100 parts of said refined wood vinegar, said leaves comprising:
• 85 -- 100% by weight comfrey leaves
• 0 -- 15% by weight bamboo leaves
• 0-- 15% by weight garden radish leaves
• 0 -- 15% by weight matrimony vine leaves
• c. allowing said leaves to be permeated and fermented by said refined wood vinegar causing extracts from said leaves to be removed by said refined wood vinegar,
• and d. filtering the refined wood vinegar containing said extracts thereby removing solid remains of said leaves and obtaining a composition.
