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 the
Food, the Purifying, Preserving, and Siimula-
ting Agent of the stomach and intcnstines.

conversion of food into blood, and no nu-

SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE!
BARON LIEBIG, in Lis celebrated work on
nimal Chemistry, sa VS.: San Artificial Di-
esiive Fluid analago us TO the Gastric Juice,
may be readily prepared from the mucous
! gmembrane of the stomach OF the Calf,
which various articles of food, as meat and
eggs. will be softened, changed, and diges-
ted, Just in the same manner as they would
be in the human stomach
DR.. Pereira. in his famons treatise on
"Food and Diet" published by Fowlers &
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
,he "Physiology of Digestion" observe

aiing cause of Dyspepsia; and he state,
that IA distinguished professor of medicine

which proved completely successful"
DR.. Graham. auihor of The famous work
on vegetable Diet,n says: "it is remar-
kable fact in physiology; that the stomachs
of animals, macerated in water, impart 10
the fluid the properly of dissolving various
articles of food, and of efleciing a kind of
artificial digestion of them in no wise diff.
ferent from the natural digestive process.n
