In 1862 I received a visit from Herr °Chart, an engineer

Uruguay, where hundreds of thousands of sheep end oxen are
killed solely for the hides and fat. He told me that directly he
saw my account of the preporatioe of this extract he came
to Munich with the intention of learning the process, and

manufacture on a large scale. I therefore recommended
Herr Oohed to Professoc Pettenkofer, who willingly
