This afternoon I spent four hours in my laboratory with one of your beans.

I tell you frankly that I have discovered constituents in that small article which absolutely stupefy me, qualities which no substance on earth that I know of, in the vegetable or mineral world, possesses.

Yet within a week, the chemist whom I have engaged to come to my assistance and I will assuredly have resolved that little bean into a definite formula.

When we have done that, the rest is easy.

Its primary constituents will form the backbone of our new food.
