          Application No. 07/995,106                                                  


          through 34 and 44 through 46, which are the only other claims               
          remaining in the application, stand withdrawn from further                  
          consideration by the examiner as directed to a non-elected                  
          invention.                                                                  
               Claims 1, 10, 35 and 41, which are illustrative of the                 
          subject matter on appeal, read as follows:                                  
               1.  A peritoneal dialysis solution comprising as osmotic               
          agents:                                                                     
               approximately 0.25 to about 4.0% (w/v) polypeptides; and               
               approximately 0.5% to about 4.0% (w/v) dextrose.                       
               10. A peritoneal dialysis solution comprising a                        
          polypeptide mixture as an osmotically active agent in an                    
          osmotically effective amount, the polypeptide mixture                       
          consisting of:                                                              
               not more than approximately 0.10% of polypeptides having               
          a molecular weight of greater than 1200;                                    
               not more than approximately 25% of polypeptides having a               
          molecular weight of less than 400; and                                      
               the weight average of the polypeptide mixture being                    
          within the range of approximately 400 to about 900 daltons.                 
               35. A peritoneal dialysis solution comprising as an                    
          osmotic agent synthetic polypeptides that are approximately 4               
          to about 10 amino acids long and dextrose.                                  





                                         -2-
