DIGESTION.
hlGES11ON is chiefly performed in the stom.
~ ach by the aid OF fluid which freely exudes
from 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
ntestines. Without it there would be no diges
hon-no conversion Of food into blood, and no nu.
triton OF the body ; but rather foul, torpid pain
ul and destructive condition of the whole digestive
apparatus. weak, half dead, or injured stomach
produces good Gastric Juice, and hence the dis.
ease, distress and debility which ensue.
PEPsIN AND RENNET.
Principle of the Gastric Juice 1t IS found in great
abundance In the solid parts of the human stomach
after death, and sometimes causes the stomach to
digest itself, or eat itself up. 1t is also found in
.ne stomach OF animals, as the OK, calf, &c. II is
tne material used by farmers in making cheese,
the special wonder of the dairy. The curdling of
mix is the first process Of digestion. Rennet pos
sesses astonishing power. The stomach of calf
will curdle nearly one thousand times its own
welght OF milk Baron Leibg states that, Zone
part OF rePsin dissolved In sixty thousand parts of
water, VIII digest meat or other food" Diseased
stomachs produce no good Gastric Juice, Kennel
or pepsin. To show that this want NAV be per
lectly supplied, we quote the following:
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
s s OF me cali, In which various articles Of
loou' as meat. and eggs will be sottened, changed
ana olgested just In the same manner as they would
be in the human stomach"
Dr. PEREIRA, in his famous treatise OH ..Food
and Diet" published by Fowler u Wells N. York.
age so, states the same great fact and describes
authorities than DR.. Pereira.
Df: GUM Be, in his valuable writings OF the
PHYSIOLOGY OF Digestion observes that diminution
OF the due quantity of the Gastric Juice is prom.
nent and alI.prevaiIing cause of Dyspepsia and he
states 'hat distinguished professor of medicine in
complaint finding every thing else to fail had re-
course 10 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 somachs of animals macerated in
water lmpart to the fluid the property of dissoying
various articles OF food and of efecting kind sol
artihcla digestion of them in no wise from
the natural digestive properties.
Dr SlMON'S great work, the Chemistry of
MAR Man, (Lea 4 Blanchard, Philadelphia 1916. PIP.
S2i-2) says: "Ihe discovery Of Pepsin forms
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 Pepsln, as it is in the natural Gastric Juice
ITSELF
Professor Dunglison of the Jefferson COLLEGE
Philadelphia, in his great work on human PhysioI
oegy, devotes more than fifty pages to an examina
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 III the artificial as in the natural d.
gestion.
AS DYSPEPSIA CURER.
!, Dr: Houghtons preparation of Pepsin has pro.
duced the most marvellous effects, curing cases of
Debility, Elnaciation, Nervous Decline and Dys-
pepslc Consumption, supposed to be on the very
verge OF the grave. 1t is impossible to give the
details OF cases in the limits Of this advertisement
