SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCES!
BARON LEIBIG in his celebrated work on
Animal Chemistry, says: can Artificial Digestive
Fluid analogous to the Gastric Juice, NAV be
readily prepared from the mucus membrane Of the
stomach OF the calf, in which various articles Of
food, as meat, and eggs will be soltened. changed
and digested just In the manner as they would
be in the human stomach"
DR.. PEREIRA, in his famous treatise OF, food
and Diet" published by Fowler 4 Wells N. York,
page 49, states the same great fact and describes
the method Of preparation There are few higher
authorities than DR.. Pereira.
DR.. COMBE, in his valuable writings or the
Physiology OF Digestion observes that diminuton
OF the due quantity of the Gastric Juice is prom
inent and ali.prevailing cause Of Dyspepsia and he
states that distinguished professor OF medicine in
London, who was very much afflicted with this
complaint, finding every thing else to fall had re.
course to the Gastric Juice, obtained from the
stomach OF living animals, which proved complete
ly successful.
Dr. GRAHAM, author Of the famous works on
Vegetable Diet says that it is remarkable fact in
physiology thatthe stomachs of animals maceraed in
water impart to the fluid the property of dissoyne
various articles OF food and Of etfecting kind OF
artificial digestion Of them no wise diere Mt from
the natural digestive properties.

new era in the chemical history Of digestion From
recent experiments We know that food is dissolved
as rapidly in an artificial digestive hnd, prepared
from Pepsih, as it is iii the natural Gastric Juice

Philadelphia in his great work on human Physio.

ton of this subject. His experiments with Dr.
Beaumont, on the Gastric Juice, obtained from
living human stomach and from animals are well
known. In all cases. he says, digestion occurred
as perfectly la the artificial as in the natural d.
gestion.
AS A DYSPEPSIA CURER.
