    to Cod Liver Oil in the majority of cases for which the latter is prescribed. EXTRACTUM PANCREATIS (FAIRCHILD), prepared according to the Fairchild process, is the purest and most con¬ centrated and active form of the pancreatic ferments ever produced. It is in the form of a dry powder, and is absolutely free from starch, milk, sugar, or any factitious substance. It contains all the digestive ferments of the Pancreas, viz., Trypsin, animal diastase, the emulsive ferment, and the milk-curdling ferment. The Caseine of the milk is by the Trypsin of the Extract converted into Peptone, thus rendering impossible the formation of indigestible cheesy curd in the stomach, which frequently proves a serious obstacle to the use of milk diet. Five grains will peptonise one pint of milk. One ounce will pep- tonise 175 usual portions of milk for infant feeding. It is much more economical and convenient for preparing peptonised milk and other foods than any of the liquid or other preparations of the Pancreas ever produced. It is supplied in 1/4 oz. and 1 oz. bottles. PEPTONISING POWDERS (FAIRCHILD) In Glass Tubes. Exact Size. Each tube contains the exact quantity of Extractum Pancreatis (5 grains) and Soda Bicarb. (15 grains) to peptonise one pint of milk. The Extractum Pancreatis is hygroscopic, and when mixed with soda is apt to become sticky if dispensed in powder papers, even if waxed. The tubes are put up in boxes of 1 dozen each, with complete direc¬ tions for use. PEPSINE IN SCALES (FAIRCHILD), prepared according to the Fairchild process, differs from any known pepsine. It is the first and only pepsin ever offered absolutely free from starch, milk, sugar, acids, artificial peptone and all extraneous matter. One grain will digest 1,000 grains of egg albumen in six hours. The dose i=> from one to three grains, and is best given in powder, (or in the form of the pepsine tabloids, which contain one grain each, coated with sugar.)
