Extracting the Principle Of Plant,

A new method Of obtaining the 40
tive principles Of plants In the state
In which they exist In the fresh plant
IL used with success by the French
scientists. Prof. Perrot. BY his means
he obtains extracts of q different ma
ture from what are given In the usu.
al processes where dried plants are
employed. Such extracts can be used
to great advantage. as they contain
the active principles of the plants In
a more suitable and unaltered form.
Thus. by his process. the leading ac-
tive principles such a. alkaloids or
glucosides and diastases are preserved
In their complex combinations Just as
they existed in the cells OF the plant.
and under this form 1t Is found that
their action on the human body is
identical with that Of the fresh plant.
Such combinations are rendered sta
BILE by treating the sterilized powder
OF the freshly dried plant by alcohol

then evaporated in vacuO and then
freed from from fatty matted, wax, or
resin, then dried by cold process.
Such extracts are soluble In water.
