(Abstract.) 



The author has endeavoured to ascertain by careful experiments 

 how far the substances hitherto prepared from flesh are true " eductt," 

 and really present in the flesh itself, or merely products, due to 

 (1) the action of chemical or physical agencies applied in the course 

 of extraction, or (2) to bacterial action modifying the composition of 

 the flesh before it comes into the hands of the operator.
