Digestion.
Digestion is chiefly performed in the stomach BY
the aid of fluid which freely exudes from the in
ner coat of that organ when in state of health
called the Gastric Juice. This fluid is the Great
Sotoent Of the food, The PnrBf5ing Preserving, ana
stimulating Agent of the stomach and intestines

sion of food into blood and no nutrition of the DO.

weak, half-dead, or injured stomach produces no
good Gastric Juice, and hence the disease distress
and debility which ensue.
Pepsi and Penaet.
Pepsin is the chief element, or great Digestin0
Principle of the Gastric Juice Its found in great
abundance in the solid parts of the human stomach
after death, and sometimes causes the stomach to
digest itself eat itself up 1t is also found in

the material used by farmers in making cheese
called Rennet, the effect of which has long since
been the special wonder of the dairy The curd-
ling of milk is the first process of digestion. Rem
net possesses astonishing power. I he stomach of
calf viii curdle nearly thousand times its own
weight of milk. Baron Liebg states that, Gone
part of Pepsn dissolved in sixty thousand PARTS of
water; will digest meat and other foodn Diseased
stomachs produce no good Gastric Juice Rennet or
Pepsin. To show that this want may be perfectly
supplied, we quote the following
SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE!
Baron Liebig, in his celebrated work on Animal
Chemistry, says: "An Artificial Digestive Fluid
analogous 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 sctlened changed and digested Just
in the same they uoutd be in the human sto-
mdcap
DR.. Pereira in his famous treatise on "Food and
Diet published by Fowlers & Wells, New York,
page 49, states the same great fact, and describes
the method appropriation. There are few higher
authorities than DIR. Pereira.
DR.. Combc, in his valuable writings on the ''Phy-
siology ofDgestion,p observes that "a diminuton
of the due quantity of the gastric juice is promi-
nent and all-preyailing cause of Dyspepsia" and
he states that "a distinguished professor of medi-
cine in London. who severely afflicted with this
complaint, finding every thing else to fail, had
