DIGESTION.
n1GESTTONis 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 Juce.-This fluid is
the great solvent of the food, the Purifying, Pre-
serving and Stimulating Agent of the stomach and
intesnes. Without it there would be diges-
ton-no conversion of food into blood, and no nu-
triton Of the body but rather foul, torpid pain
full 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.
Pepsin is the chief element, or great Digesting
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
the stomach Of animals, as the OK calf, Sc. II 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 curdiing of
milk is the first process ct digestion. Rennet pos
sesses astonishing power. The stomach of calf
will curdle nearly one thousand times its own
weight Of milk. Baron Lebig states that, "One
part OF Pepsin dissolved in sixty thousand parts Of
water viii digest meat or other FOOD Diseased
stonachs produce good Gastric Juice, Rennet
Or Pepsin. To show that this want may be per.
tectly supplied, we quote the following:
SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE!
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, end eggs will be soltened, changed
and digested just in the same manner they would
be in the human stomach
DR.. PEREIRA in his famous treatise Oh .sFood
and Diet" published by Fowler & Wells N. York,
page So, 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
OF the due quantity of the Gastric Juice is prom
nent and all-preyailins cause OF Dyspepsia and he
states that distinguished professor of medicine in
London, who very much afflicted with this
complaint finding every thing else TO fail had re-
course to the Gastric Juice, obtained from tho
stomach of living animals, which proved complete
ly successful.
Dr. GRAHAM author of the famous works on
Vegetable Diet saws that it is remarkable fact in
physiology that the stomachs of animals aceraed in
water mpart to the fluid the property Of dissolvng
various articles of food and Of eifecting kind Of
artificial digestion of them in Agise different from
DR. SIMON's great work. the Chemistry of
Man, (Lea & Blanchard, Philadelphia 1916. PIP.
