DIGESTION.
Digestion is Chiefly performed in the
stomach by the aid of a fluid which freely
exudcs from the inner coat OF that organ,
when in a state OF health, called the Gastric
Juice. This fluid is the Great solvent OF the
Food, the Purifying, Preserving, and Simula-
ting Agent of the stomach and intenstines,
Without il there will be no digestion, mt
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 gooo
Gastric Juice, and hence the disease, dis
res and debility which ensue. q
PEpsIN AND RENNET.-Pepsin is tic chic
element. or great Diges,ing Principle OF the
Gastric Juice. 1t is found in great abnn-
dance IN the solid parts of the human stom'
ach after de rh, and sometimes causes the
stomach 10 digest itself, or eat itself up. II
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,

cial wonder of the dairy. The curdliug oil
milk is the first process of digestion. Ken
