AURUM MOSAICUM. See MOSAIC GOLD.
Aurum mosaicum is also a preparation in pharmacy, thus called from its golden colour and appearance. It is made of mercury, tin, sal ammoniac, and flowers of sulphur, by grinding, mixing, then setting them three hours in a sand heat—The dirty sublimate being taken off, the aurum mosaicum is found at the bottom of the matras. It is recommended in most chronical and nervous cases: and particularly convulsions of children.
