DIGESTION.
Digestion is Chiefly performed in the
stomach by the aid of a fluid which freely
exudes from the inner coat of that organ,
when in a state OF health, called the Gastric
Juice. This auid is the Great solvent of the
Food, the Purifying, Preserving, and Stimula-
ting Agent of the stomach and intcnstines.
Without il there will be no digestion, mo
conversion of food into blood, and no nu-
triton Of the body but rather a foul, torpid,
painful, and destructive condition OF the
whole digestive apparatus. A weak, hall
dead, or injured stomach produces no good
Gastric Juice, and hence the disease, dis
Tres and debility which ensue.
PEpsiN AND REENET.-Pepsin is the chief
| element. or great Digestiug Principle of the
Gastric Juice. 1t is found in great abun.
dance IN the solid parts of the human stom-
ach after death, and sometimes causes the
stomach 10 digest itself, or eat itself up. 1t
is also found in the stomach OF animals, as
the OK, calf, sc. il is the material used by
farmers in making cheese, called Kennel,
the effect of which has long been the spe-
cial wonder of the dairy. The curdliug OF
milk is the first process of digestion. Rem
net possesses astonishing power. The stom-
ach of a calf will curdle nearly one thou;
sand times lis own weight milk. Baron
Liebig states that, f0ne part of Pepsin DIS
solved in sixty thousand parts of water, will
digest meat and other food.n Diseased
stomachs produce no good Gastric Juice

may be perfectly supplied, we quote the

than DR.. Pereira.
DIR Combe, in his valuable writings on
the physiology of Digestion observes
| that "a diminulion of the due quantity of
the Gastric Juice is a prominent and all pre-
vailing cause of Dyspepsia; - and he states
that "a distinguished professor Of medicine
in London, who was severely afflicted with
this complaint, finding every thing else to

which proved completely successful
DR.. Graham, author of the famous works
on Vegetable Diet says: "it is a remar-

of animals, maceraied in water, impart TO
The fluid the properly of dissolving various
articles Of food, and of e%ffecting a kind of
artificial digestion of them in no wise diff
