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 state OF health, called the Gastric
Juice This fluid is The Great solvent of tho

whole digestive apparatus. A weak, hale
dead, or injured stomach Produces no good
Gastric Juice, and hence the @isnasa dis

PEpsIN AND DRENNET.-Pepsin is the chic
element. or great Digesting Principle Of the
Gastric. Juice. 1t is found in great abun-
dance IN the solid parts of the human sissn~
ach after de 9TH, and sometimes causes tho
stomach 10 digest itself, or eat itself up. 1t

the OK, cali, &C. tits the material used by
farmers in making cheese, called Kennel,

cial wonder of the dairy. The curdliug Of
milk is the first process of digestion. Rem
net possesses astonishing power. The siom-
ach of calf will curdle nearly one thou
sand times lis own weight Of milk. Baro'
Liebg states that, 'One part of Pepsin dls
solved in sixty thousand parts Of water, vii

stomachs produce no good Gastric Juice

may be perfectly supplied, We quote the

SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE!
BARON LIEBic, in Lis celebrated work on
nimal Chemistry, sa Us: An Artificial Di-
esiive Fluid anaIago us 10 the Gastric Juice,
may be readily prepared from the mucous
gmembrare OF the stomach OF the Calf,
which various articles of food, as meat and
eggs. will be sofcned, changed, and diges-
I'd, Just in the same manner as they would
! be in The human stomach"
| Dr. Pereira. in his famous treatise on
''Food and Diet" published by Fowlers s.
| Wells, New York, page 35 states the same
great fact, and describes the method Of prep
| aration. There are few higher authorities
| than Dr. Pereira.
DR. Combe, in his valuable writings on
| the s'Physiology OF Digestion" observe.
| that "a diminu,ion Of the due quantity of
the Gastric Juice is prominent and all pro-
yaing cause of Dyspepsia" and he state,
that "a distinguished professor of medicine
| in London, who was severely afflicted vi b
| this complaint. finding every thing else to
| fail, had recourse 10 the Gastric Juice, Oh
tanned from the stonach OF living animals.
which proved completely successful"

on Vegetable Diet" says: '.it is a remar-
kalle fact in physiology, that the stonaehs
Of animals, macerated in water impart TO
the fluid The properly of dssolving yarious
articles of food, and Of efiecling kind of
artificial digestion Of them in no wise diff.
