    FURTHER OBSERVATIONS ' / ON THE USE OF PANCREATIC EMULSION AND PANCREATINE, IN CONSUMPTION, MARASMUS, TABES MESENTERICA, AND OTHER WASTING DISEASES OF CHILDREN AND ADULTS. By Dr. DOBELL, SENIOR PHYSICIAN TO THE ROYAL HOSPITAL FOR DISEASES OF THE CHEST, ETC., ETC. The paper on the use of Pancreatic Emulsion in the Wasting Diseases of Children, which follows these introductory remarks, appeared in “ The Practitioner ” for October, 1872; and as it has excited con¬ siderable interest among the readers of that valuable journal, T have been persuaded to give it a wider circulation by publishing it in a separate form. I have been surprised to find that, notwithstanding the numerous advertisements from contending manufacturers which have appeared during the last eight years, and the very large quantities of Pan- ; creatic Emulsion and Pancreatine now prescribed in this and other countries, many medical practitioners have written to me since the appearance of my paper in “ The Practitioner/’ to inquire where these preparations can be obtained, and to ask for the formulas for their manufacture. To these inquiries I have replied that the formulae are pub¬ lished:—1. In my paper to the Royal Society, “ On the Action of Pancreatic Juice upon Fat and Starch ” (Proceedings of the Royal Society, 1868, No. 97). 2. In “The Pharmacopoeia of the Royal Hospital for Diseases of the Chest ” (Churchill, 1869). 3. In Squire’s “ Pharmacopoeias of the London Hospitals,” (2nd Ed.). 4. In Squire’s “ Companion to the British Pharmacopoeia,” (7th Ed.). 5. In the Appendix to the 5t.h Edition of my work “On Diet and Regimen in Sickness and Health.” (Lewis) ; besides other places.* * To prevent disappointment it must be observed with reference to tbe published formula, that the Pancreatic Emulsion of Messrs. Savory and Moore is a much more palatable preparation than can be produced by the process given. This result is
