EsTIcN.
Digestion is Chiefly performed in the
stomach by the aid Of a fluid which freely
eyudes 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 intenstfnes.
Without il there will be no digestion, mo
conversion of food into blood, and no nu-
rition of the body; but rather q foul, torpid,
painful. and destructive condition OF the
whole digestive apparatus. A weak, hall
