His ingenuity was such, that it was commemorated in the proverb :
Side 176 - Furthermore, the behavior in the Babcock test of milk which had been preserved by formalin shows that its composition is in some way affected. Ordinarily, the curd of milk is dissolved by the sulphuric acid that is used in this test.
