Digestion.
Digestion is chiefly performed in the stomach by
the aad of fluid which freely exudes from the in
uer coat of that organ, when in a state Of health
called the Gastric Juice This fluid is the Great
Sotcem Of the food, tie Purifying, Preserving and
Stimulating Agent of the stomach and intestines
Without il there will be 10 digestion-no CONVEX
sion of food into blood and no nutrition ofthe bo-
dy; but rather foul. torpid, painful and dcstruc
tive condition the whole digestive apparatus. A
weak, half-dead, or injured stomach produces no
good Gastric Juice, and hence the disease distress
and debility which ensue.
Pepsia and Rennet.
Pepsin is the chief element, or great Digestiag
Principle of the Gastric Juice tits found in great
abundance in the solid parts OF the human stomach
efter death, and sometimes causes the stomach to
digest itself, or eat itself up 1t is also found in
the stomach of animals, as the OK calf &c. 1t is
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 The stomach of
a calf will curdle nearly one thousand times its own
weight Of milk. Baron Lebig states that, Gone
part of Pepsin dissolved in sixty thousand Parts of
water, will digest meat and other foodR Diseased
stomachs produce good Gastric Juice, Rennet or
Pepsin To show that this want may be perfectly
supplied, we quote the following
SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE!
Baron Liobg in his celebrated work on Animal
Chemistry, says: ssAn Artificial Digestive Fluid
analogous to the gastric juice, may be readily pre-
pared from the mucous membrane of the stomach
of The calf in which various articles offood as
and eggs, will be sotened changed and dgested Just
in the they routd be inthe human sto-
mach.s
DR.. Pereira, in his famous treatise on Food and
Diet,o published by Fowlers & Wells, New York,
page 35. states the same great fact, and describes
he method ofpreparation. There are few higher
authorities than Dr. Perera.
DR.. Combe in his valuable writings on the s'Phy-
sology ofDigestion," observes that "a dminution
of the due quantity of the gastric juice is prom-
nent and al-prevaiing cause of Dyspepsia and
he states that "a distinguished professor of medi-
cine in London who was severely afflicted with this
course to the gastric juice obtained from the sto
mach of living animals, which prov completely sue
ccssfut''
Dr.. Granam, author ofthc famous works on eve
getable Diet says: sit is remarkable fact in ply
sology that the stomachs of animals, macerated in
water impart to the fluid the property of dissolv-
ing various articles of food and ofcffecting kind
of art ciai digestion of them in no ,rse derenf from
The natural dgesfire process.n
DR. Simon's great work, the ''Chemistry Of Man, y
LEA & Blanchard, Phila., ls46, PIP. 32i-2) says
"The discovery of Pepsin forms era in the
chelEeal history ofDi gestion. From recent exper-
iments we know that food is dissolved as rapidly
in an artificial digestive fluid, prepared from Pep
sin, rs it is in the natural gastric juice itselfp
Prof Dunglison, of the jefferson College. Phila-
delphia, in his great work On Human Physiology
devotes more than fifty pages to an examination of
this subject. His experiments with DR. Beaumont,
on the gastric juice, obtained from the living hu-
man stomach and from animals, are well known
In all cases" he says, "dgestion occurred per-
fectiy in the artificial as in the natural digestion
