srnczmcnrron formingpart of Reissued Letters Patent m. 9,075, dated February 17, 1880. p

Original No. 210,4961date41 December a, 1878. Application for Reissue filed January 7, 1880.

To all whom it may concern p a i Be it known that I, John (inmates; of Oiesskill, in the county of Bergen and State of New Jersey, have invented certain Improve- 5 ments in Medicinal Malt Extracts, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a new malt extract which, from its composition andthe peculiarities of. its manufacture, possesses from three to five times thevalue of any preparation of the same class hitherto produced.

In carrying my said invention into practice I take separately a suitable quantity each of barley, wheat, arately to the melting process, and extract from each the'inalt solution in the manner usual in the prod iction of common malt extract from barley, w th these peculiar and important diff ferences-mamely, that the water used should not be above 120Fahrenheit, and that in the concentration of the extracts to a viscid 0r sirupy consistence the heat is never carried as high as is the ordinary practice, but is effected in vccu'o at a temperature ranging from 100 to] Fahrenheit. Concentration at this'coniparatively low temperature preserves intact in the solutions the phosphates, albumenoids, glutein'and diastase, which constitute the most valuable constituents of a malt extract, and which, in the usual method of preparing such extractsviz., by concentration at a high temperature-are dissipated or decomposed, and consequently lost.

andoats, and subject them sop- Having provided aconcentrated,extractt'rom' barley,'from wheat, and from oats, as just described, I mingle the .three in equal proportions, thereby. producing, asa new medicinal agent and article of manufacture and sale',a combined extract of barley, wheat. and oats. Now it is to be expressly understood that eachof the three cereals-mentioned possesses some one or more valuable constitnen ts in a greater quan ti ty or proportion than either of the others. For exam ple, the barley excels in diastase and the wheat in phosphates and gluten, so that, combined as herein "set forth, all 'the desired constituents are provided'in, due quantity and proportions; and inasmuch as by themethod ,of concentration ata low temperature, as herein,-

bet'ore-fully set forth, all the valuable constit nents of the several varieties are preserved, 'the combined extract embraces the virtues of all, andas a matter of fact lltlsfl'Olll three to five timesthe virtue of any malt extracthitherto made.

What I claim as my invention is' i The herein-described compound extract of malt,'composed of the concentrated extracts of barley, wheat, and oats, containing their natural proportions of unc'oagulated albumen 6c and diastase, substantially as herein set forth.
