Wormwood.. as employed in making this liqueur.. bears also the name 'Wermuth' - preserver of the mind - from its medicinal virtues as a nervine and mental restorative.

Suitable allowances of the diluted liqueur will promote salutary perspiration and may be given as a vermifuge. Inferior absinthe is generally adulterated with copper.. which produces the characteristic green colour.
