Extract

(1.) On a Fatty Substance derived from Animal Matter.

This substance, derived from a pig buried for fifteen years on the side of a hill, was found to consist of free fatty acids, with a mere trace of animal matter, and no appreciable trace of phosphate of lime. The bone earth appears to have been dissolved by the water percolating through the soil.
