Glycerine Extracts were Made op the following Tissues : — 
I. Tissues from the rabbit — 
(a) Bones ; ( b ) small intestine ; ( c ) large intestine ; (d) blood ; 
(e) stomach ; (/) lungs ; (g) kidneys ; ( h ) liver ; (i) muscle ; 
(j) pancreas ; (h) brain ; (Z) suprarenal bodies ; ( m ) spleen : 
(n) heart ; (o) hair and skin ; ( p ) eyes. 
II. Tissues from a human being (child) — 
(a) Spinal cord ; (b) heart ; (c) muscle ; (d) bone (partly 
ossified) ; ( e ) liver ; (/) thyroid ; ( g ) large intestine ; (h) skin ; 
(i) stomach ; (j) vermiform appendix ; (h) lung ; (l) spleen ; 
( m ) suprarenal bodies ; ( n ) brain ; (o) kidneys ; ( p ) small in- 
testine ; ( q ) gall bladder ; (?’) thymus gland ; ( s ) pancreas ; 
(t) cartilage ; ( u ) fat. 
III. Tissues from a human adult* (not post-mortem) — 
(a) Tendo Achilles ; (b) fat ; ( c ) muscle ; ( d ) cartilage ; ( e ) 
ligament and synovia] membrane ; (/) bone ; (g) skin ; ( h ) con-

IY. Human post-mortem tissues (macroscopically and micro- 
scopically normal) — 
(a) Liver (Ho. I.) ; (b) liver (Ho. II.) ; (c) lung ; (d) skin ; 
(e) large intestine ; (/) kidneys ; {g) spleen ; ( h ) muscle ; 
(t) small intestine; (j) fat. 
Y. Glycerine extracts were made of the following pathological 
tissues : — 
(a) Carcinoma of skin (infected by cancer of pylorus) ; (b) 
scirrhus of breast ; (c) sarcoma of face ; ( d ) angeio-sarcoma of 
leg ; (e) eclamptic tissues : — 
(1) blood ; (2) liver ; (3) pancreas ; (4) spleen ; (5) brain ; 
(6) kidneys ; 
(/) varicose veins ; (g) tubercular sputum. 
In my original paper, tables were submitted which showed the 
tests applied and the results obtained, but here it will be sufficient 
to deal with the results in a general manner, in short, to show 
whether these extracts have actions similar to those of ptyalin, 
pepsin, trypsin, inversin, and rennin. 
* The first nine tissues were obtained from a healthy leg, removed by 
operation for sarcoma of the upper end of the femur.
