Demonstrated Superiority of Lactopeptine as a Digestive Agent. Certificate of Composition and Properties of Lactopeptine by Prof Attfield, Ph. D., F. R. S., F. I. C., F. Č. S., Prof. of Practical Chem. to the Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain. LONDON, May 3d, 1882. LACTOPEPTINE having been prescribed for some of my friends during the past five years-apparently with very satisfactory results-its formula, which is stated on the bottles, and its general characters, have become well known to me. But recently the manufacturer of this article has asked me to witness its preparation on a large scale, to take samples of its ingredients from large bulks and examine them and also mix them myself, and to prepare "Lactopeotine" from ingredients made under my own direction, doing all this with the object of certifying that "Lactopeptine is what its makers professes it to be, and that its ingredients are in quality the best that can be obtained. This I have done, and I now report that the almost inodorous and tasteless pulverulent substance termed "Lactopeptine" is a mixture of three chief agents which enable ourselves and all animals to digest food. That is to say, "Lactopeptine" is a skillfully prepared combination of meat-convercing, fat-converting, and starch-converting materials, acidified with those small proportions of acids that are always present in the healthy stomach; all being desseminated in an appropriate vehicle, namely, powdered sugar of milk. The acids used at the factory-lactic and hydrochloric-are the best to be met with and are perfectly combined to form a permanent preparation; the milk sugar is absolutely pure; the powder known as "diastase" or starch-digesting (bread-, potato-, and pastry-digesting) material, as well as the "pancreatin," or fat-digesting ingredients, are as good as any I can prepare; while the pepsin is much superior to that ordinarily used in medicine. Indeed, as regards this chief ingredient, pepsin, I have only met with one European or American specimen equal to that made and used by the manufacturer of "Lactopeptine." A perfectly parallel series of experiments showed that any given weight of acidified pepsine, alone, at first acts somewhat more rapidly than Lactopeptine" containing the same weight of the same pepsine. Sooner or later, however, the action of the Lactopeptine" overtakes and outstrips that of pepsine alone, due, no doubt, to the meat-digesting as well as the fat-digesting power of the pancreatin contained in the "Lactopeptine." My conclusion is that "Lactopeptine" is a most valuable digesting agent, and superior to pepsine alone. JOHN ATTField. LACTOPEPTINE contains all the agents of digestion that act upon food, from mastication to its conversion into chyle, thus combining all the principles required to promote a healthy digestion. One of its chief features (and the one which has gained it a preference over all digestive preparations) is that it precisely represents in composition the natural digestive juices of the stomach, pancreas and salivary glands and will therefore readily dissolve all foods necessary to the recuperation of the human organism.

Complaints have been made to us by Physicians that some dishonest druggists substitute an inferior preparation made by themselves when "Bromidia" is prescribed. Physicians are cautioned to look out for these substitutions, because the lives of their patients may be endangered and their own reputation injured as well as ours.
