PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said Philip Embury Lockwood
at the Office of the Commissioners of Patents on the 21st October 1878.
PHILIP EMBURY LOCKWOOD, of 24, Holborn Viaduct, in the City of London, in
the County of Middlesex. "NEW OR IMPROVED MEDICINAL COMPOUNDS OF
EXTRACT OF MALT."
This Invention relates, firstly, to a combination or admixture of concentrated or
condensed extract of malt with cod liver oil or any other oily or fatty substance
used as nutritive medicine.
Secondly. To a combination or admixture of concentrated or condensed extract
of malt with castor oil.
It is well known that in consumption and other similar diseases oleaginous or
fatty substances are considered valuable remedies, but when taken in their natural
form they usually have a disagreeable flavour; the excess of fatty matter often
produces derangement of the digestive organs, and frequently much of the oil passes
through the system undigested and is wasted.
I have discovered that concentrated extract of malt can be combined with cod
liver oil or any other oily or fatty substance used as medicine for similar purposes
in such a manner as to form a highly nutritive compound; the proportion of fatty
matter is thus so reduced that it can be more easily digested; the diastase contained
in the malt extract is a valuable aid to the digestion of certain foods, and the
compound is more palatable than when fatty matters are taken in their natural
state.

page_text: To prepare the compound I take the oleaginous or fatty substance which is to
be used as medicine, this I add to an extract of malt concentrated to a thick con-
sistency and combine them thoroughly by beating or mixing, adding if desired any
suitable flavouring substance. I also in certain cases add a small quantity of
quinine, pepsine, iron, or any desired medicament to incrcase the inedicinal
properties of the compound..
I also find that a similar admixture of concentrated malt extract with castor oil
forms an efficacious and agreeable purgative.
The extract of malt may be inade entirely from malted grain or other malted
seeds, or from a mixture of such malt with raw grain or seeds.

PHILIP EMBURY LOCKWOOD, of 24, Holborn Viaduct, in the City of London, in
the County of Middlesex. "NEW OR IMPROVED MEDICINAL COMPOUNDS OF
EXTRACT OF MALT."
The Invention relates,-
Firstly. To a combination or admixture of concentrated or condensed extract
of malt with cod liver oil or any other oily or fatty substance used as nutritive
medicine.
Secondly. To a combination or admixture of concentrated or condensed extract of
malt with castor oil.
It is well known that in consumption and other wasting diseases oleaginous or
fatty substances are considered valuable remedies, but when taken in their natural
form and especially after long continued use the excess of fatty matter often
produces derangement of the digestive organs, and frequently much of the oily
matter passes through the system without being digested and is wasted. These
oleaginous matters also usually have a disagreeable flavour and are liable to produce
nausea.
I have discovered that concentrated or condensed extract of malt can be
combined with cod liver oil, or any other oily or fatty substance used as medicine
for similar purposes, in such a manner as to form a highly nutritive and useful
compound.
Extract of malt is itself possessed of highly nutritious and digestive properties,
and by the combination the proportion of fatty matter is so reduced that it can be
more easily digested; the diastase contained in the malt extract is a valuable aid
to the digestion of certain foods, and the compound is palatable and agreeable
to the taste. Owing to the peculiar gummy and viscous consistency of condensed
extract of malt the oily or fatty matters when once combined with it do not readily
separate after standing.
I also find that by combining concentrated or condensed extract of malt with
castor oil an efficacious and agreeable purgative medicine is formed.
To prepare the compounds I take the cod liver oil or other oleaginous or fatty
substance used as medicine or nutriment for similar purposes in an emulsified state,
this I add to an extract of malt concentrated or condensed to a thick fluid or semi-
fluid consistency and combine them thoroughly by beating or mixing in any con-
venient manner, adding if desired any suitable flavouring substance. If it is
desired to increase the medicinal properties in any other direction I also add a
small quantity of quinine, pepsine, iron, or any desired medicament.
In preparing a compound of castor oil I first reduce it to a state of emulsion and
then combine it thoroughly with the condensed extract of malt, adding any suitable
flavouring matter if desired.
The extract of malt may be made entirely from malted grain or other malted
seeds, or from a mixture of such malt with unmalted grain or seeds.
The oils or fats should be reduced by emulsification or otherwise to such a state
that they will combine intimately with the malt extract when mixed with it.
The mode I find most convenient is to emulsify them.
In preparing the compounds I prefer not to take a larger proportion of oleaginous
or fatty matter than one-half, viz., equal parts of these and of extract of malt; but
the proportion may be varied if desired, provided care is taken not to add more
oily matter than can be properly held in combination by the extract of malt, as if
there is an excess of oily matter it is liable to separate on standing.
I claim,-
First. A compound consisting of condensed extract of malt in combination with

page_text: emulsified cod liver oil or other emulsified deaginous or fatty substances used as
nutritive remedies, substantially as and for the purpose specified.
Second. A compound consisting of condensed extract of malt in combination with
castor oil, substantially as and for the purpose specified.
In witness whereof, I, the said Philip Embury Lockwood, have hereunto set
my hand and seal, this Nineteenth day of April, in the year of our Lord
One thousand eight hundred and seventy-nine.
