Digestion
Digestion is chiefly performed Ii the stomach by
the aid OF fluid which freely cxudcs from the IN
ner coat Of that organ, when in u state Of health
called the Gastric Juice. This fluid is the Great
| Solvent Of The food, The Psuyfbiag. Irsserri1g and
/ Mtmutoting Agent of the stomach and intestines
/ Withoqtit there will be no digestion no eonver-
sion OF food into blood and nutrition ofthe bo-
dy, butraiher foul. torpid, painful and destruc-
tive condition ofthe whole digestive apparatus. A
! weak, half-dead, or injured stomach produces no
good Gastric Juice and hence the disease distress
and debility which ensue.
Fepsin and Rennet
Pepsin is the chief element, or qreat Diqestinq
Prinespe of the Gastric Juice 1t is found in great
a'undance in the solid parts Of the human stomach
after death, ana sometimes causes the stomach to
digest itself, or eat itself up. 1t is alse found in
