                                                              OPINION                                                                  
                      In reaching our decision in this appeal, we have given careful consideration to the                              
              appellant’s specification and claims, to the applied prior art references, and to the respective                         
              positions articulated by the appellant and the examiner.                                                                 
                      Rather than reiterate the conflicting viewpoints advanced by the examiner and the                                
              appellant regarding the noted rejections, we make reference to the examiner's Answer for the                             
              examiner's reasoning in support of the rejection, and to the appellant’s Brief for the appellant’s                       
              arguments thereagainst.  As a consequence of our review, we make the determinations which                                
              follow.                                                                                                                  
              Background                                                                                                               
                      The claimed invention is directed to a process of production of a germicidally treated                           
              suspension which is useful for the treatment of illnesses such as atopic neurodermatitis,

              hepatitis, chronic hepatitis, chronic sinusitis, psoriasis, rheumatic-type indications,
