 Dingler. No claim could therefore be sustained
 for the use of alumina broadly nor for Alumina
 prepared by precip [precipitation] by ammonia nor for alumina
 in the dry stae but as he [?] that its 
 value when freshly [?] was vastly [?]
 and believing that possibly there was some [?]
 in his preparation as it was precipitated with Soda
 we narrowed his case to the use of the freshly precip [precipitated]
 hydrate of alumina when the latter is prepared by
 [?] by Carb. Soda the novelty (as we 
 understand it) is the combination of the precipitation
