ohorc chloride oxide the lecturer has succeeded In
producing pepton substitute which ~ , mad

os to the possibility of thus making artificial albu-
,nen the lecturer carried out the entire process In
the presence OF the assembled chemists. and then
demonstrated the identity OF artificial and natural
alhumen by means OF reactions. The process Is ex-
tremeiy simple and though 1t may be some time
before artificial abumen can be made In the labora-
tory as cheaply as the natural article. In the form
OF meat ETC.. the relative cost may ultimately be
reversed
