    EMULSIO. Emulsio Pancreatica. The process for making purified Pancreatic Emul- sion :— 1. Make Crude Emulsion. 2. Convert the Crude Emulsion into Pancrca- tized Fat. 3. Make the purified Emulsion out of Pancrea- tized Fat. 1. To MAKE THE CRUDE EMULSION. Take of fresh Pancreas of the pig, freed from fat and all extraneous matters, 25 lbs., Lard 20 lbs., water 30 lbs. Bruise the Pancreas in a marble mortar, then add the Lard; beat and mix them well together, adding the water little by little as it becomes absorbed, till all is added. Strain by squeezing through muslin. 2. To MAKE PANCREATIZED FAT. Treat the Crude Emulsion with Ether in the pro- portion of 3 parts Ether to 1 part Emulsion ; mix well, and allow the mixture to stand till two strata are formed,—A, an Ethereal solu- tion of Pancreatized fat at the top; B, a watery stratum at bottom. Decant the Ethereal solu- tion and filter, put it into a proper Still, and recover the Ether by distillation. That which remains in the Still is Pancreatized Fat. 3. To MAKE PURIFIED PANCREATIC EMULSION. Take of Pancreatized Fat 2 parts ; Rectified Spirit 1 part; Distilled Water 3 parts; Oil of Cloves sufficient to give a flavour. Put the Pancrea- tized Fat into a mortar, and add little by little the Spirit and water previously mixed, and, lastly, sufficient Oil of Cloves to flavour it.
