- A description of Bovinine in the November 28, 1914, issue of the British Journal of Nursing reads:
- "A valuable preparation, in the form of a concentrated Beef Juice... Because it is a powerful stimulant in cases of extreme exhaustion and shock, it is much appreciated in connection with the care of the sick and wounded. It is given either in cold water or milk and it is claimed for it that it will support injured men for long periods, and is, therefore, especially applicable where patients are to be conveyed to a Base Hospital. In cases of low vitality, due to loss of blood, it is frequently ordered by the medical profession. It is rapidly assimilated and readily tolerated by the most irritable digestive organs, and is manifestly, therefore, a preparation with which all nurses should be acquainted."
