tiv-  s  rength  to  be  about  six  times  that  of  the  ordinary  Liquid  Pepsin  of  Scheffer, 
pnd  is  in  direct  opposition  to  his  tests  of  ord  nary  Wine  of  Pepsin.  (See  American 
Journal  of  Pharmacy  March,  1870  ) 
Tue  advantages  of  Procter's  Vinura  Disrestivura  lie  in  the  presence  of  a  small 
amount  of  alcohol,  desirable  as  a  flight  snmulaot  and  the  extraordinary  digestive 
power  which  is  not  impaired  by  this  addition.  It  is  q<  ite  palatable,  and  free  from 
the  ex  e-^sive  acidity  of  L  quid  P  -pdn.
