produces no good Gastric Juice and hence the dis

PEPsIN AND RENNET.
Pepsin is the chief element, or great Digesting
Principle Of the Gastric Juice. 1t is found in great
after 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 Rennet, the effect OF which has long been
the special wonder of the dairy. The cnrd1ing OF
sesses astonishing power. The stomach of calf
will curdle nearly one thousand times its own
weight OF milk Baron Leibig states that, zone
part Of Pepsin dissolved in sixty thousand parts of
water, will digest meat or other food" Diseased
stomachs produce no good Gastric Juice, Rennet
or Pepsin To show that this want NAV be per.

SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCEI
BARON LEIBIG in his celebrated work on
Animal Chemistry, says: can Artificial Digestive
Fluid analogous to the Gastric Juice, may 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 softened, changed
and digested just in the manner as they would
be in the human stomach"
DR.. PEREIRA, in his famous treatise on flood
and Diet" published by Fowler 4 Wells N. York,
page IS, 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 diminution

states that distinguished professor Of medicine in
London, who was very much afflicted with this
complaint, finding,ever thing else to fail had re-
course to the Gastric Juice, obtained from the
stomach of living animals, which proved complete
ly successful.
Vegetable Diet says that it is remarkable fact in
physiology thatthe stomachs of animals macerated in
water impart to the fluid the property of dissolvng
various articles of food and Of sfecting kind Of

DR. SlMON'S great work, the Chemistry of
Man, (Lea & Blanchard, Philadelphia 1916. PIP.

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
from Pepsin. as it is in the natural Gastric Juice

Beaumont, on the Gastric Juice, obtained from

known. In all cases. he says, digestion occurred
