          Application 07/752,831                                                       
                         being added to said sucralfate in an amount                   
                         sufficient to form a paste;                                   
                    (b) the mixture is allowed to dry; and                             
                    (c) the resulting material is dispersed in an                      
                         aqueous methylcellulose medium;                               
                    and wherein said preparation is topically applied                  
                    to said aphthous ulcer in and amount sufficient to                 
                    cover said aphthous ulcer.                                         

               23. A process of preparing a pharmaceutical preparation                 
                    for treatment of an aphthous ulcer, the process                    
                         comprising:                                                   
                    (a) triturating sucralfate powder with an aqueous                  
                         mixture of carboxypolymethylene, polysorbate-80               
                         and simethicone to form a substantially                       
          homogenous               mixture, said aqueous mixture being                 
          added to said                 sucralfate in an amount                        
          sufficient to form a                paste;                                   
                    (b) allowing said substantially homogenous mixture                 
          to             dry into a gelatinous material; and                           
                    (c) mixing said gelatinous material with an aqueous                
                         methylcellulose medium to form a preparation for              
                         topical application to said aphthous ulcer.                   
               We have reviewed appellants’ specification for everything               
          that it teaches persons having ordinary skill in the art.  We                
          have considered appellants’ examples and all of the claims.                  
          We have studied the combined teachings of the prior art cited                
          and applied against appellants’ claims.  We have reviewed the                
          Declaration of David W. Pehrson, filed December 3, 1992,
