A Mrs Stephens had cured the Postmaster-General, Lord Carteret, of the stone (calculus) and a public subscription to collect 5ooo was started to purchase her remedy.

Linoleic and linolenic acids (Figure 3.10) are made by plants by further desaturation of oleic acid. It is generally accepted that animals cannot make these acids, in other words, they are essential in their diets, but recent experiments have shown that a cricket and a cockroach, as well as a slug and a garden snail can make linoleic acid. It is possible then that all insects can make Unoleic acid. There is no indication that linolenic acid can be made by animals. Arachidonic acid (5,8,11,14-eicosatetraenoic acid) is made by animals only, by chain extension and desaturation from Unoleic acid obtained in their food.
