    In an article, " An Interview with Orval C. Graves" by Russell House, the following is related.

    In the 1940's Graves wrote a number of articles for the AMORC magazine, many on alchemy. These were always quite interesting, and reflected his skills in finding unusual information, a task helped by the rare documents he would have access to as a librarian and university dean.

    The Munificent Alchemist , Graves addressed the life and exploits of one of his favorite personalities - Comte Saint -Germain. In the article, he mentions correspondence by a nobleman named Graffer, that indicated that St. Germain's secret of his elixir for long life was usually obtained from herbs. The secret of this elixir was once given to Prince Youssoupoff
    In one of them, of Moscow. St. Germain often gave of this herbal elixir to the poor and weak. Despite his generosity, there were problems discovering the formula of this tea - aqua benedetta as it is sometimes called, and one druggist spent 10,000 Crowns in search of this medicine. George Fenzke's notes from a 1940's AMORC Class gives the following formula:

    St. Germain's Formula


    1- Senna -- 2 grams 2- Manna -- 15 grams ( Note: this is a gummy product from the European Ash tree, Fraxinus ornus ). 3- Anise -- 1 gram 4- ( Fennel flowers) " or elders" is handwritten 5- Elder -- 4 grams Below is handwritten: "use four", one implication being that either Fennel or elder flowers are used, but not both. Graves' article indicates that there are five ingredients. The article continues to say, that " Manna is difficult to obtain, but is available in Sicily. The formula should be considered as a tea, rather than as a traditional elixir with strong alcohols. The formula as a whole should help to purify the body and facilitate removal of toxins". Does anyone know of this Ash tree resin or gum ? Does anyone know of this formula of St. Germain ? Is there an other product that may come close to be regarded as a substitute for this hard to come by Ash tree gum or resin ? Regards Steve Kalec
