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 of sodium and potassium combined with oxychlorid of boron, thus: (6NaKB4O7) BOCl3.” | “Zyme-Oid is a double borate salt.” |
In the matter of claims for chemical stability the two seem to be very closely allied:
| Oxychlorine is “a stable salt under all conditions until brought in contact with sub-oxygenated organic matter.” | Zyme-oid is “a product which is stable enough for keeping purposes, but which readily yields 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 morbid and abnormal fermentative alimentary states.” | “Zyme-oid is a powerful gastrointestinal antiferment.” |
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:
