DIGESTION.
nIGES1ION is chiefly performed in the stom-
- ach by the aid OF fluid which freely exudes
nom the Inner coat Of that organ, when in state
OF health, called the Gastric Juice.-This fluid is
the great solvent of the food, the Purifying, Pre-.
serving and Stimulating Agent of the stomach and
intestlnes. Without it there would be no diges
uon-no conversion of food into blood, and no nu-
triton oil the body; but rather FOUL torpid pain
1ul and destructive condition of the whole digestive
apparatus weak, half dead, or injured stomach
produces no good Gastric Juice, and hence the dis.
ease, distress and debility which ensue.
PEPsIN AND RENNET.
fePsih Is me CHEF element, or great Digosting
Prlncipe OF the Gastric Juice. 1t is found in great
abundance in the sod parts of the human stomach
alter DEATH and sometimes causes the stomach to
digest ITSELF or eat itself up. 1t is also found in
the stomach of animals, as the OK, calf, &C. 1t is
the material used by farmers in making cheese,
called Kennel, the effect Of which has long been
>he special wonder of the dairy. The curdIing of
milk Is the first process of digestion Rennet nos.
sesses astonishing power. The stomach of calf
VIII curde nearly one thousand times its own
weigh. OF m!lk Baron Lebig states that, Zone
part OF Pepsln dissolved in sixty thousand parts of
water, will digest meat or other food Diseased
slomachs produce no good Gastric Juice, Rennet
or Pepsin. To show that this want may be per
fsctiy supplied, we quote the foowing
SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE!
BARON LEIBIG in his celebrated work on
Animal Chemistry, says: can Artificial Digestive
Fluid analogous 10 the Gastric Juice NAV ha
readily prepared from the mucus membrane Of the
stomach OF the calf, i'll which various articles nj
1000, as meat, and eggs will be sottened, changed
and dlgested just in the same manner as they yyond
be In the human stomach.'
Dr. PEkElRA, in his famous treatise on Food
and Diet published by Fowler 4 Wells N. York
page 80, states the same great fact and describes
the method of preparation There are few, h;ohar
authorities than DR.. Pereira.
Dr: COM BE, In his valuable writings or the
PHYSIOLOGY of Digestion, observes that diminntion
OF the due quantity Of the Gastric Juice is a nrom-
lnent and prevailing cause Of dyspepsia and he
states that distinguished professor Of medicine in
London, who was very much afflicted with ths
complaint finding every thing else to fail had re-
course to the Gastric Juice, obtained from the
stomach 81 living animals, which proved complete
ly successful.
DR.. GRAHAM, author Of the famous works IN
VeSelapie Diet says that it is remarkable fact in
physiology thatthe stomachs of animals MAJ Grated in
water lmpart to the fluid the property of dissovno
various articles of food and OF elfecting kind %
artificial digestion of them in no wise different from
the natural digestive properties.
DR. SIMON's great work, tho Chemistry ~
Man, (Lea Il Blanchard, PHILADELPHIA ls.t;'' mn
32l-2) says. 'The discovery of bepsin forms a
new era IN the chemical history Of digestion. From
recent experiments we know that food is dissolved
as rapidly IN an artificial digestive fluid, prepared
ITSELF ~
Professor Dunglison of the Jefferson COLLAGE
Philadelphia, IN his great work on human physioi
ogy, devotes more than fifty pages to an exaiuina
uon OF TINS SUBJECT His experiments with DR..
Beaumont on the Gastric Juice, obtained FROM
living human stomach and from animals are we'll
known. In all cases, he says, digestion occurred
as perfectly Ia the artificial as in the natural d.
gestion.
