i has been known as long as fermented drinks, 



: agent by which they are formed out of saccharine juices. 

 [Went] The intimate nature and mode of action of ferment* have 

 been studied with great care by Turpin, Cogniard Latonr, Sohwann, 

 , M. Ronsaeau (' Comptes Rendus.' No. 17, April 24, 1848), and 

 ('Comptes Rendus; and The Chemist; vol. v. p. 401.) 

 rvers hem established numerous differences in ferment* ; 

 but it is to the common yeast of beer-brewers that the following 

 observation* apply. It. preesnee, or that of any ghiten-Iflce material, 

 iriiiin m saccharine Inids an intestine motion, by which, if there be 

 HaaHiiliill Jiiait. the sugar is resolved into alcohol and carbonic acid. 

 It is while this change is taking place that yeast is deemed most nse- 

 fat It is employed both internally and externally. In the former 

 case, the mak which supplied the saccharine principle has often been 

 given along with or instead of H, under the name of malt or wort It 

 was highly commended by Dr. Macbride, m the treataient of scurvy, 

 before the utility of lemon-jinee was generally recognised ; and some 

 recent writers have given instances of Ha advantageous employment. 

 The objection to its use is, that it generally increases the diarrbeoa ; 

 but this is not invariably the case. It has been strongly recommended 

 by Dr. Stoker of DnMb in typhns fever; and enemata made with it 

 have proved useful against typhoid tympanites. All this is extremely 

 probable, from the explanation given by l.i-l.i;; of the manner in which 

 faiineuis promote the digestive process. (' Animal ' 



The, yeast poultice is an excellent application to putrid ,ind gan- 

 grenons ulcers, wtth offensive discharge and unhealthy granulation*. 

 It must be renewed every six hours. Its beneficial influence is not 

 owing solely to the carbonic acid gas evolved, as the same good effect* 

 An not follow when a stream of carbonic acid gas is directed on the 

 ores. Dr. Stephen Williams of the United States strongly recom- 

 mends a poultice of fine malt and boiling beer, with yeast spread on 

 the surface, applied frequently in the twenty-four hours. Under its 

 use the offensive odour and discharge cease, the granulations become 

 firm and healthy, and the healing procees goes on steadily. It is expe- 

 dient to continue its use for three or four days. (' American Journal 

 of Medical Science,' May. 1832, p. 38.) 



German yeast, which is in a dry state, and begins its action on being 

 moistened "with water, has the advantage over common yeast of being 

 more rapid in its development and effect*. When used, it must be 

 more frequently renewed.. 



Yeast has recently Wn recommended in the treatment of 

 which have prevailed epidemically ; but there can scarcely be a doubt 

 that well-ferment' d porter is as beneficial, and more grateful
