DIGESTION.
Digestion is Chiefly performed in the
stomach by the aid of a fluid which freely
exudes from the inner coat of that organ,
when in a state OF health, called the Gastric
Juice. This fluid is the Great solvent of the
Food, the Purifying, Preserving, and Stimula-
ting Agent of the stomach and intenstnes.
Without il there will be no digestion no
conversion of food into blood, and no nu-
triton of the body; but rather foul, torpid,
painful, and destructive condition of the
whole digestive apparatus. A weak, half
dead, or injured stomach produces no good
Gastric Juice, and hence the disease, dis
Tres and debility which ensue.
PEPsIN AND RENNET.-Pepsin is the chief
element. or great Digesting Principle of the
Gastric Juice. 1t is found in great abun-
dance IN the solid parts of the human stom-
ach after de lih, and sometimes causes the
stomach 10 digest itself, or eat itself up. 1t
is also found in the stomach of animals, as
the OK, cali, &C. il is the material used by
farmers in making cheese, called Kennel,
the effect of which has long been the spe-
cial wonder of the dairy. The curdlug of
milk is the first process of digestion. Ren-
net possesses astonishing power. The stom-
ach OF calf will curdle nearly one thou
sand times lis own weight of milk. Baron
Liebig states that, 'One part of Pepsin DIS
solved in sixty thousand parts Of water, will
digest meat and other food" Diseased
stomachs produce no good Gastric Juice
Rennet or Pepsin. To show that this want
may be perfectly supplied, we quote the
following
SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE!
BARON LIEBIG, in Lis celebrated work on
Animal Chemistry, says: "An Artificial Di-
ges,ive Fluid analogous to the Gastric Juice,
may be readily prepared from the mucous
membrane of the stomach of the Calf, in
which various articles of food, as meat and
eggs. will Ne soitened, changed, and diges-
ted, just in the same manner as they would
be in the human stomach"
DR.. Pereira, in his famous treatise on
''Food and Diet" published by Fowlers &
Wells, New York, page 35 states the same
great fact, and describes the method of prep
aration. There are few higher authorities
than DR.. Pereira.
DR. Combe, in his valuable writings on
the "Physiology of Digestion,O observes
that "a diminulion of the due quantity of
the Gastric Juice is prominent and all-pre-
vailing cause of Dyspepsia" and he states
that "a distinguished professor of medicine
in London, who was severely afflicted with
this complaint finding every thing else TO
fail, had recourse 10 the Gastric Juice, OBJ
tanned from the stomach of living animals,
which proved completely successful"
DR.. Graham, author of the famous works
on Vegetable Diet" says "it is a remar-
kable fact in physiology, that the stomachs
of animals, macera,ed in water, impart to
the fluid the properly Of dissolving various
articles of food, and of effeeting a kind of
artificial digestion of them in no wise diff.
ferent from the natural digestive process"
Dr. Simon's great work, the "Chemisiry
OF Man." (Lea & Blanchard, Phila., 1916,
PIP. 321-2): "The discovery of PEPSIN
TO ms new era in the chemical history of
Di geslion. From recent experiments we
KIN ow that food is dissolved as rapidly in an
artificial digestive fluid, prepared from Pep.
sin, as it is in the natural Gastric Juice it.
SELF"
Professor Dungison of the jefferson Col
lege, Philadelphia, in his great work on HUI
man Physiology, devotes more than fifty
pages TO an examination of this subject
,,,,th a..
Gastric Juice, obtained from the living hL-
man stomach and from animals are well
known. "In all cases." he says, "digestion
occurred as perfectly in the artificial as the
natural digestions."
AS a DYSPEPSIA CURER, DR. Houghton's
preparation of Pepsin has produced the
most marvellous effects, curing cases of De-
bility, Emaciation, Nervous Decline, and
dispeptic Consumption, supposed to be on
the very verge of the grave. 1t is imposs.
