Pepsin is the chief element, or greet DigestRs
Pfacipls Of the Gastric Juice tbs found in great
abundance in the solid parts OF the human stomach
after death, and sometimes causes the stomach TO
digest itself eat itself up. IL is also found IN
the stomach Of animals, AS the OK, calf &c. II is
the material used by farmers in making cheese
called Rennet. the effect OF which has long since
been the special wonder of the dairy. The eurd-
ling of milk is the FIRST process of digestion. Rem
net possesses astonishing power. The stomach of
calf wilcurlle nearly one thousand times its own
weight Of milk Baron Liebig states that, "0ne

water will digest meat and other food.n Diseased
stomachs produce no good Gastric Juice Rennot or
Pepsin To show that this want may be perfectly
supplied, We quote the following

Dr. Pereira in his famous treatise on Good and

the method of preparation. There are few higher
authorities than Dir. Pereira.

's1he discovery of Pepsin forms new era in the
chemical history ofDiyestion. From recent cxper-
imcnts we know that food is dissolved as rapidly
in an artificial digestive fluid, prepared from Pep
sim as il is in the natural gastric juice itself'
Prof. Dunglison of the Jefferson College, Phila-
delphia, in his great work on Human Physiology,
devotes more than fifty pages to an examination of
this subject His experiments with DR.. Beaumont,
ON the gastric juice, obtained from the living hui
man stomach and from animals, are well known.
