~ Digestion
Digestion is chiefly performed ia the stomach By
the aid Of fuid which freely exudes from the in
ner coat OF that organ, when in state of health
called the Gastric Juice This fuid is the Greai
Sotrept Of he food, The Purifying, Prsserring, and
Ninladdting Agent Of the stomach and intestines.
Without ii there will be no digestion--no CONVEX
sion Of food into blood and no nutrition ofthe boz
dy; but rather foul torpid, painful and destruc-
tive condition ofthe whole digestive apparatus. A
weak half-dead, or injured stomach produces no
good Gastric Juice and hence the disease distress
and debility which cnsue.
Pcpsin and Rennef.
Pepsin is the chief element or great Digesfias
Principle of the Gastric Juice. 1t is found in great
abundance in the solid parts ofthc human stomach
after death, and sometimes causes the stomach to
digest itself or cat itself up. 1t is also found in
thestomach of animals, as the OK, calf &c. It Is
the material used by farmers in making cheese,
called Rennet the effect of which has long-sincc
been the special wonder Of the dairy The curd-
ling Of milk is the first process OF digestion Rem
net possesses astonishing power. The stomach Of
calf VIII curde nearly one thousand times its own
weight of milk. Baron Liebig states that. "0ne
part of Pepsin dissolved In sixty thousand PARTS Of
water will digest meat and other food Diseased
stomaehs produce no good Gastric Juice, Rennet OF
Pepsin To show that this want may be perfectly
supplied, we quote the following
scIlNTIFIC EVIDENCE!
Baron Liebig, in his celebrated work on Animal
Chemistry, says: San Artificial Digestive Fluid
anaagoust to the gastric juice, may be readily pre-
pared from the mucous membrane of the stomach
ofthe calf in which various articles offood as meat
and eggs will be sofeacd changed, and digesfed just
in the same manner as they mould be inthe hunan sto-

Dr. Pere;ra, in his famous treatise on food and
Diet, published by Fowlers & Wells New York
page S. states the same great fact, and describes
the method appropriation. There are few higher
authorities than Dir. Pereira.
DR.. Combe in hisvaluable writings on the s'phy-
siology ofDigeston,o observes that "a diminution
of the due quantity Of the gastric juice is promi-
nent and al-prevailing cause of Dyspepsia; y and
he states that a distinguished professor Of medi-
cnein London, who was severely afflicted with this
complaint fndingev every thing else to fail, had re-
course to the gastric juice obtained from the sto
mach ofliying animals which pror conplet ely suc-

sology. that the stoaachs of aa imas macerated in
water, impart to the fluid the property efdissolv-
ing various articles of food and OF effecting kind

Dir. Simon's great work, the sChemistry fSIan, :
(Lea & Blanchard, Phila.. 1916, PIP. 321-2) says
'sThe discovery Of Pepsin forms o new era in the
chemical history ofDigestion. From recent exper.
iments we know that food is dissolved as rapidly
in an artificial digestive luid prepared from Pep
sin, as it is in the natural gastric juice itselfn
Prof. Dunglison, of the jefferson College, Phila
delphia, in his great work on Human Physiology
devotes more than fifty pages to an examination o.
| this subject. His experiments with DIR. beaumont
on the gastric juice, obtained from the living hui
man stomach and from animals are well known
sin all cases. he says digestion occurred as per
fectly in the artificial as in the natural digestion
