DIGESTION.

- ach by the aid OF fluid which freely exudes
from the inner coat of that organ, when in state
of health, called the Gastric uice-Ths fluid is

serving and Stimulating Agent of the stomach and
intestines. Without it there would be no diges.
ton-no conversion of food into blood, and no nu-
triton Of the body but rather foul, torpid pain
u and destructive condition of the whole digestive
apparatus. A weak, half dead, or injured stomach
produces no good Gastric Juice, and hence the dis
ease, distress and debility which ensue.
PEPSIN AND RENNET.
Pepsn is the chief element, or great Digesting
Principle of the Gastric Juice. 1t found in gre at
abundance in the solid parts Of the human stomach
after death, and sometimes causes the stomach to
digest itself, or eat itself up. It is also found in
the stomach of animals, as the OK, calf &c. 1t is
called Rennet, the effect Of which has long been
the special wonder Of the dairy. The curdling Of
milk is the first process Of digestion. Rennet Dos
| seases astonishing power. The stomach of calf
| will curde nearly one thousand times its own
weight OF milk Baron Leibig states that, "One
part of Pepsin dissolved in sixty thousand parts of
water, will digest meat or other FOOD Diseased
| stomachs produce good Gastric Juice, Rennet
| or Pepsin. To show that this want NAV be Der.
| fectly supplied, we quote the following:
SCIENTIFIC EvIDENCEl
BARON LEIBIG in his celebrated work on
Animal Chemistry, says: "An 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 dlgesed just in the same manner as they would
be in the human stomach"
DR.. PEREIRA, in his famous treatise OH .Tood
and Diet" published by Fowler & Wells N. York,
the method OF preparation. There are few higher
authorities than Dr.. Pereira
| DIR. COMBE, in his valuable writings or the
Physiology OF Digestion observes that diminution
OF the due quantity of the Gastric Juice is prom
inent and all-prevaiing 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 fail, 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 macerated in
water impar to the fluid the property of dissoving
various articles of food and of efectng kind sof
artificial digestion of them in no wise different from
the natural digestive properties.
DR. SIMoN's great work, the Chemistry of
Man, (Lea 4 Blanchard, Philadelphia 1916. PIP.
32l-2) says. s1The 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
ITSELF
Professor Dunglison Of the Jefferson College,
Philadelphia, in his great work on human Physiol
ogy, 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 well
known. In all cases, he says, digestion occurred
as perfectly Ia the artificial in the natural d.
