oids ; the theory published in 1838 by Mulder, that 

 albuminous bodies are practically derivatives from one 

 substance, termed by him protein ; but it was soon 

 shown that this theory was erroneous, and it has been

 water and preserve in alcohol. The color which the 

 fluid imparts to tissues that have been preserved 

 in it can be discharged by hydrate of chloral. M.'s
