DIGESTION. 5
Digestion is chiefly performed d in the stom
ach by the aid Of fluid which fr civ exudea
from the inner coat Of that organ, when II
state Of health, called the Gastric Juice. Thia
fluid is the Great Solvent Of the Food, the Pu-
rifying, Preserving and Stimulating Agent Of
the stomach and intestines. Without 4 there
will be no -digestion-no conversion OF food
into blood, and no nutrition OF the body, bnt
rather foul, torpid painful, and destructive
condition Of the whole digestive apparatus ~
A weak. half dead or injured stomach produ-
ces no good Gastric Juice, and hence the dis
ease, distress and debility which ensue.
PEPSIN AND RENNET.
Pepsin is the chief element or great dfees.
ting principle Of the Gastric Juice. Il IL
found in grea, abundance in the solid parts
Of the human stomach after death, and some
times causes the stomach 10 digest itself, or
eat itself up. It is also found in the stomach
OF animals, as tho OK, calf. &c. 1t is the ma
terfal used by farmers in making cheese.
called Rennet, the effect Of which has long
been the special wonder Of the daiU. The
cordIing ofmilk is the first process OF diges-
ton. Rennet possesesses astonishing pow
er. The stomach OF a calf will curdle nearly
one thousand times its own weight OF milk.
Baron Liebig states that zone part OF Pepsin
dissolved in sixty thousand parts of water,
will digest meat aud other food.n Diseased

Rennet or Pepsin. To show that this want
may be perfectly supplied we quote the fel.

SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE.
Baron Lebig, in his celebrated work on
Animal Chemistry, rays: "An Artificial
Digestive Fluid may be readily prepared from
the mucous membrane Of the stomach Of the
calf, in which various articles of food. as
meat and eggs. will be softencd, clIaneed
and digested, just in the same manner as
they would be in the human stomnch.y
Or. Pereira in his famous treatise on tsFood
and Diet" published by Wilson T. Co.. New

describes the method Of preparation. There
are few higher authorities than Or. Pereira.
