Digestion is chiefly performed in the stom-
acb by. the aid of fluid which freely exudes
from the inner coatof that organ, when in n
state Of health, called the Gastric Juice. This
fluid is the Great Solvent Of the Food, the Pu-
rifying, Preserving and Stimulating Agentof
the stomach and intestnes. Without it there
will be no dgesiop--no, conversion of food
into blood, and no nutrition Of the body; but
rather foul, torpid, painful, and destructive
condition OF the whole digestive apparatus -
A weak, half dead or injured stomach produ-
ces no good Gastric Juice, and hence the dis.
ease, distress and debility which ensue.
~ PEPSIN AND RENNET.
Pepsin1is the chief element or great diges.
ting principle Of the Gastric Juice. II is
found in great abundance in the solid parts
of the human stomach after death, and some
times causes the stomach to digest itself, or
ent itself up. tits also found in the stomach
Of animals, as the OK, calf. &c. tits the ma
teria used by farmers in making cheese,
called Rennet, the effect of which has long
been the special wonder Of the dairy. The

tion. Rennet possesesses astonishing. pow
er. The stomach Of a calf will curdle nearly
one thousand times its own weight OF milk.
Baron Lebg states that "One part OF Pepsin
dissolved.in sixty thousand paris OF water,
will digest meat and other food.p Diseased
stomacks produce no good Gastric Juice,
,Rennet or Pepsin. To show that this want
|-mny be perfectly supplied we quote the iol-

SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE.
Baron Liebig, in his celebrated work on
Animal Chemistry, says: 'sAn Artificial
Digestive Fluid may bereadi,y prepared from
the mucous membrane Of thestomach Of the
calf. in which various articles OF food, as
meat and eggs. will, be softencd, changed
and digested, Just in the same manner as
they would be in the human stomach"
DR.. Pereira in his famous treatise on "Food
and Dlet,n published by Wilson 6sCo, New
York, page 35, states the same great fact, and
describes the method .ofpreparation. There
are few higher authorities than DR.. Pereira.

try in the Med cal College of the University
Of New York. in his Text Book OF Chems.
try . page 1856. says. sit ha 8 been question
whether artificial digestion could be per-
formed il is now universally admitted
that it may be.'
Profcs sof Dunglison OF Philadelphia, in his
great work on Human Physiology, devotes
more than fifty pages to an nexamination OF
this subject. Ills experiments with DR..
| Beaumont, on the Gastric Juice. obtained
from the living human stomach and from an
imas, are well known. Sln all cases." he
saws, sdigestion occurred as perfectly in the
artificial as in the natural digestions"
