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 oil health, called the Gastric
Juice. This fluid is the Great solvent OF the
Fooi the Purifying, Preserving, and Slmula-
ting Agent of the stomach and intcnstines
Without il there will be no digestion,-no
conversion of food into blood, and no nu-
triton of the body; but rather foul, torpid
painful, and destructive condition of The
whole digestive apparatus. A weak, half
dead, or injured stomach produces no good
Gastric Juice, and hence the disease, dis
Tres and debility which ensue.
PEPsIN AND RENNET.-Pepsin is the chief
element OF great Digesting Principle of the
Gastric Juice. 1t is found in great abun-
dance IN the solid parts Of the human stom-
ach after deaih, and sometimes causes the
stomach 10 digest itself, or cat itself up. 1t
is also found in the stomach of animals, as
the OK, calf, sc. lls the material used by
farmers in makirg cheese, called Rennet,
the effect of which has long been the spe-
cial wonder of the dairy. The curdliug OF
milk is the first process OF digestion. Rcn-
net possesses astonishing power The stom-
ach of calf will curdle nearly one thou
sand times its own weight of milk. Baron
Liebig states that, 'One part OF Pepsln dis
solved in sixty thousand parts of water, will
digest meat and other lood.' Diseased
stomachs produce no good Gastric Juice
Renne or Pepsin. To show that this want
may be perfectly supplied, we quote the
following
SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE!
BARON LIEBIG, in Lis celebrated work on
Animal Chemistry, says: Gan Artificial Di-
gesiive Fluid analogous 10 the Gastric Juice,
may be readily prepared from the mucous
membrane OF the stomach OF the Cali, in
which various articles of food as meat and
eggs will be sollcncd, changed, and diges-
ted, Just in the same mannera as they would
be in The human stomach"
DR.. Pereira. in his famous treatise on
'Food and Diet" published by Fowlers &
Wells, New York, page 35. states the same
great fact, aud describes the method of prep
aration. There are few higher authorities
than DR.. Pereira.
DR. Combe, in his valuable writings oil
the "Physiology OF Digestion" observes

the Gastric Juice is prominent aud all pre-

that "a distinguished professor of medicine

this complaint. finding every thing else 10

Professor Dunglison of the Jefferson Col

pages 10 an examination of this subject.
