VI. FORMULA AND DETERMINATIONS. 



It may possibly be allowed to designate the formula of the 

 molecule of the albumin-like substance "sarcosin," approaching as 

 near to what it should be in structure as the imagination of man 

 can possibly attain. I give the structural formula for sarcosin ;

The soluble material then forms sarcosin; and gives with the 

 product of CA C2 plus 2N, or CA CN2 plus O, = the kreatin or 

 muscle-material; while it formswith the "lung- clog"- -the casein — - 

 like material akin to cheese.
