As examples, several parallel statements help to show this similarity. The formula (?) of oxychlorine, as expounded on the label, is given in full, while in the case of zyme-oid only a hint is given as to its composition, but still sufficient to point to a similarity between the two: OXYCHLORINE ZYME-OID “Oxychlorine is a tetraborate “Zyme-Oid is a double borate of sodium and potassium com- salt.” bined with oxychlorid of boron, thus: (6NaKB_{4}O_{7}) BOCl_{3}.” In the matter of claims for chemical stability the two seem to be very closely allied: Oxychlorine is “a stable salt Zyme-oid is “a product which is under all conditions until stable enough for keeping pur- brought in contact with sub- poses, but which readily yields oxygenated organic matter.” nascent oxygen in the presence of bacterial products.” The therapeutic properties attributed to these sister products are even more similar, for we find that: “Oxychlorine is adapted to all “Zyme-oid is a powerful gastro- morbid and abnormal fermentative intestinal antiferment.” alimentary states.” Many more statements and claims could be quoted to show a similarity between, amounting almost to an identity of, oxychlorine and zyme-oid. With these facts in mind, the analysis of zyme-oid was undertaken in order to compare it with the previously examined oxychlorine and to determine to what extent the claims made for zyme-oid are upheld by its composition. The analysis indicated, as was expected, that zyme-oid is essentially the same as oxychlorine as is shown in the following, quoted from the report of the analysis of each: ANALYSIS OF OXYCHLORINE ANALYSIS OF ZYME-OID Potassium (K) 12.26 Potassium (K) 13.50 Sodium (Na) 8.20 Sodium (Na) 9.84 Chlorate (ClO_{3}) 25.32 Chlorate (ClO_{3}) 27.50 Nitrate (NO_{3}) 21.70 Nitrate (NO_{3}) 24.22 Boric acid anhydrid Boric acid anhydrid (B_{2}O_{3}) 18.63 (B_{2}O_{3}) 13.42 Water, calculated 13.29 Water, calculated 10.42 Assuming that the chlorate in zyme-oid is present as potassium chlorate and the nitrate is present as sodium nitrate, the figures obtained by analysis correspond to a mixture approximately as follows: Potassium chlorate (KClO_{3}) 40.43 Sodium Nitrate (NaNO_{3}) 33.22 Potassium tetraborate (K_{2}B_{4}O_{7}) 1.60 Sodium tetraborate (Na_{2}B_{4}O_{7}) 3.31 Boric acid 21.14
