DIGESTION.
hIGES1ION is chiefly performed in the stoms
~ 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
inteslnes. 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.
iu and destructive condition OF the whole digestive
apparatus A weak, half dead. or injured stomach
produces no good Gastric Juice and hence tina dis.
ease, distress and debility which ensue.
PEFsIN AND RENNET.
PePsin is the chief element, or great Digestinp
pfhetpie OF the Gastric Juice 1t is found in great
abundance in the solid parts of the human stomach
alter death, and sometimes Causes the stomach to
digest itself, or eat up. 1t is also found in
The stomach of animals, as the OK, calf, &c. II il

the special wonder Of the dairy The curdline Of
milk Is the first process Of digestion Rennet pos.
sesses astonishing power. The stomach of calf
Will curdle nearly thousand times its own
weight of milk. Baron Leibig states that, "Ona
part Of Pepsin dissolved in sixty thousa. parts of

SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE!
BARON LEIBIG in his celebrated work en-
Animal Chemistry, says; Gan Artificial Digestive
! Fluid analogous to the Gastric Juice, NAV be
readily prepared from the mucus membrane OF the
stomach of the calf, in which various articles Of
iood' as meat. and eggs will be sotened, changed
and dgested just III the same manner as they would

me method OF preparation There are few higher
authorities than DR.. Pereira.
DR.. COMBE, in his valuable writings or thu
Physiology OF Digestion, observes that diminution
OF the due quantity of the Gastric Juice is a prom.
inent and ali-preyaiihg cause Of Dyspepsia and he
states lhat distinguished professor of medicine in
London. who was very much afflicted with this
complaint finding every thing else to fail, had re.
course 10 the Gastric Juice, obtained from the
stomach ct living animals, which proved complete.

Dr. GRAHAM author of the famous works or
Vegetable Diet says that it is remarkable fact in
physiology thatthe stomachs Of animals macerated in
water mpart to the fluid the property otsxiesolving
various articles OF food and OF eliectng a*kind sof

! DIR SlMON'S great work, the Chemistry of
Man, (4ea & Blanchard, Philadelphia 1876. DID.

new era IN the chemical history of Digestion From
recent experiments we know that food is dissolved
as rapidly in artificial digestive fluid, prepared
from Pepsin, as it is i'll the natural Gastric Juice

Beaumont, on the Gastric Juice, obtained from

as perfectly ii the artificial as in the natural d.
