and that the richness of the milk differs considerably in different 
individuals. It is found that in all cases the milk is sufficiently 
rich in, the cheesy principle, the constituent in which it fails 
being the butter, which is the most important in respect to 
nutriment. 
The butter globules of woman’s milk, though much greater in 
quantity, as appears above, than those in the milk of inferior 
animals, appear from the observations of Dr. Donne to be 
smaller in magnitude. We have given in fig. 43, the appearance

The difference between the magnitude of the globules is apparent. 
92. The analogy of milk to blood manifested in a manner so 
striking by the microscope, was still farther investigated in a 
series of highly interesting experiments made by Dr. Donne.
