Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 1 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Cbymosin and pepsin are ferments found in the rennets or stomachs of calves and hogs, the former predominating in calf rennet and the latter in hog rennet; but they are unlike in their properties, chymosin being a coagulating agent, and pepsin a digestive agent. On account of its coagulating properties, calf rennet has long heen in extensive use for curdling milk by cheese makers in the form of a liquid obtained by cutting up the stomachs and macerating them in a salt solution containing from five to ten per cent, of salt. Such a liquid contains the collected gastric juices of the stomachs, including, besides chymosin and pepsin, more or less of the objectionable mucous and albuminous matters of these juices; and its curdling power varies according to the predominance of chymosin in the stomachs treated. ””
