| BARON LIEBIG, in his celebrated work on An
imal Chemistry. says; IAN Artificial Digestive
Fluid nnologous to the Gastric Juice, may be read
| ly prepared from the mucous membrane of the
stomach of the Calf. in which various articles CT
food meat and eggs will be sotieacd, changed and
dires,ci, jast IN the same manner hey routd be in
| he human Stomach"
DR.. PERElRA, in hi famous treatise on Good
and Dict" published by Fowlers & Wells, New
York. page 81, states the same great fact, and des
cgibes the method of preparation. There are few
higher authorities than DR.. Pereira.
DR.. COMBE, in his valuable writings on the
physiology Of Digestion, observes that ga dimi-
mutton ofthc due quantity Of the Gastric Juice is
prominent and all-prcvsiling cause Of Dyspepsia"
and he states that "a distinguished professor If
medicine in London, who WINS severely afflicted
with this complaint, finding everything else to fail
had recourse to the Gastric Juice, obtained from
the stomach of living animals, which prored com
ple'cly successful"
Dr.. GRAHAM, author Of the famous works on
Vegetable Diet" say; at is a remarkable fact
in physiology that The stomachs of animals, mace
rated in water. impart To the fluid the property of
dssolvins various articles Of food, and effecting
kind Of artificial digestion of them il nolrsse differ
On from he Hofarat digesfire process"

era in the chemical history Of Digestion. From
recent experiments VIC know that food is dissolved
rapidly in artificial digestive fund, prepared
from Pcpsn, as it is in the natural Gastric Juice it.

il may be readily separated from the calf or OK and
used for experiments in artificial Digestion or as
remedy for diseases Of the stomach, and deficient
secretion of Gastric Juice.

it,
The fact that an artificial Objective Fluid. of
Gastric Juice. perfectly resembling the natural Flu

been applied to the of Indigestion and Dyspep-
