(…) Without intending to deny the painstaking efforts of Dr. Banting or to lessen his merits for the medical science I venture to say that the actual discovery of the preparation has been made by me a decade ago under the name of Acomatol

(…) The preparation is able to reduce the content of saccharine matter in the diabetic human body is an hitherto unheard of degree, relieving the patient even from the most severe form of diabetes, the so-called coma diabeticorum

(…) Acomatol was completed after prolonged studies in my laboratories. The quantity production should just be arranged as the World War began. Insulin shows all the characteristic qualities of my Acomatol

(…) It was already in the year 1908 that I have cured the first strongly diabetic persons with Acomatol

(…) The preparation showed then still some technical imperfections which however were eliminated in 1914
