DIGESTION.
Digestion is chiefly performed in The atom
ach BY the aid Of fluid which freely ernds.
from the inner coat Of that organ, when IN =
state Of health, called the Gastric Juice. This
fluid is the Great Solvent Of the Food, the Pu-
rifying, Preserving ana Stimulating Agent of
the stomach and intesiines. Without t there.
will be no digestion--no conversion of food
into blood, and no nutrition Of the body; but.
rather a 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.
PEPSTN AND RENNET.
Pepsin is the chief element or great diges.
ting principle OF the Gastric Juice. Il il
iound in grea, abundance in the solid parts
ofthe human stomach otter death, and some-
times causes the stomach 10 digest itself. or
eat itself up. IL also found in the stomach

terial used by farmers in making cheese,
called Rennet, the effect of which has long
been the special wonder Of the dairy. The
cording ofmllk is the first process OF diges.
tion. Rennet possesesses astonishing pow
er. The stomach Of a calf will cnrdle nearly
one thousand times it's own weight OF milk.
Baron Lebg states that zone part OF Pepsin
dissolved in sixty thousand parts of water,
| will digest meat and other food" Diseased
stomncks produce no good Gastrie Juice,
Rennet or Pepsn. To show that this want
may be perfectly supplied we quote the fol-
lowing:
Baron Liebig, in his celebrated work on
Animal Chemistry, Gays: "An Artificial
Digestive Fluid may be readily prepared from
the mucous membrane OF thestomach of tho
calf, in which various articles OF food, as
meat and eggs. will be softencd, changed
and digested, just in the same manner as
they would be in the human stomach.n
DR.. Pereira in his famous treatise on STOOD
and Diet" published by Wilson e. Co., New
York, page 35, states tho same great fact, and
describes the method Of preparation. There
are few higher authorities than DR.. Pereira.
Dr.. John w. Draper, Professor Of Chemis-
try in the Med cal College Of the University
OF New York, in his "Text Book OF Chemis.
try" page 386. says. ..it has been question
whether artificial digestion could be per-
formed--but tits now universally admitted
that il may be-"
Professor Dunglison OF Philadelphia, in his
great work on Human Physiology, devotes
more than fifty pages to nm examination OF
this subject. His experiments with Dr..
Beaumont, on the Gastric Juice, obtained
from the living human stomach and from an
imals, are well known. .In all coses,n he.
says, "digestion occurred as perfectly in the
artificial as in the natural digestions''
Asa Dyspepsia Curer, DR.. Houghton's pre-
paration Of Pepsin has produced the most
marvellous effects, curing cases Of Debility.
Emaciaton. Nervous Decline and Dyspeptic
Consumption, supposed to be on The very
the details OF cases in the limits OF this ad-
have been given of more than 200 remark
able cures in Philadelphia, New York and
Boston alone. These were nearly all des-.
perate cases, and the cures were NOT only
rapid and wonderful but permanent.
1t is a great Nervous Antidote, and from
the astonishingy small quantity necessary 10
produce healthy digestion is believed to act
upon electromagnetic principles!
