contains those valuable nutritious
constituents of fresh meat which are peculiar to animal food. In the
words of Professor Liebig, it is "solid Beef Tea"—that is, beef tea
from which the water has been evaporated. It dissolves immediately in
hot water, and is thus a most convenient as well as efficient and
economical substitute for meat in making beef tea, soups, and gravies;
in fact, with the addition of bread or other farinaceous food, it has
the full nutritive effect of meat. "It contains the essential and important constituents of meat which are lost by salting. Hence, if added to salted and smoked meats, it imparts to them all the nutritive qualities of fresh meat."—See Times, Oct. 27th, 1865. It is therefore peculiarly valuable at sea. It does not spoil by keeping even in a loosely covered jar. One ounce of the Extract contains the soluble matter of about two pounds of fresh meat, free from fat. |
... It would be unfair not to say a few words respecting the service done
to the people of Paris by the Extractum Carnis. I and some of my
friends have made large use of Tooths' preparation and the various
others and we have found them excellent. There is little, if any, of
the English extracts left in stock now. A French company, having
adopted the absurd title, "Of Meat", which pronounced in French "Of
mėá" becomes exceedingly ludicrous to English ears, has pushed
its extract with great assiduity for some time, and tells the world
that the extract made by the Of Meat Company is infinitely superior to
that prepared on Liebig's plan. It had a considerable stock at the
commencement of the siege, but its retail establishment is almost empty
now. An Italian company has lately made its appearance with an extract
which is also Liebig perfectionné, and as it makes a good show it
will not want for customers. The feeding of the poor is indeed a serious matter under the circumstances in which we are placed and the Government has set aside an additional sum equal to 20,000l. for the establishment of new economic kitchens for the supply of the indigent. It has allowed 7½d. a day to the wives of all the men in the National Guard who may apply for it, in addition to the pay of 15d]. to the men themselves. Now that the thermometer is several degrees below freezing, and the ground is covered with snow, all the aid that public and private charity can supply is, as may be supposed, fully required ... |
