Digestion is Chiefly performed in the
stomach by the aid Of q fluid which freely
exudes from the inner coat of that organ,
when in a state OF health, called the Gastric
Juice. This fluid is 1.-THE Great solvent of the

Without II there will be no digestion mo
lconversion Of food into blood, and no nu-
triton Of the body; but rather a foul, torpid,
painful, aud destructive condition of the
whole digestive apparatus. A weak, halt
dead, or injured stomach produces no good
Gastric Juice, and hence the disease, dis
tres and debility which ensue.

SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE!
BARON LIEBIc, in Lis celebrated work on
Animal Chemistry, says: can Artificial Di-
gesiive Fluid analogous TO the Gastric Juice,
may be readily prepared from the mucous
membrane of the stomach of the Calf, in
which various articles of food, as meat and
eggs. will be softened, changed, and diges-
ted, Just in hes same manner as they would
be in the human stomach
DR.. pereira. in his famous treatise on
dFood and Diet,n 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
The "Physiology of Digestion observes
that ga diminu,ion Of the due quantity Of
the Gastric Juice is a prominent and all-pre-
vailing cause Of Dyspepsia - and he states
that "a distinguished professor of medicine
in London, who was severely afflicted with
this complaint. finding every thing else TO
fail, had recourse to the Gastric Juice, OBJ
tanned from the .stomach of living animals,
which proved completely successful
DR.. Graham, author of The famous works
on Vegetable Diet" says: "it is a remar-
kable fact in physiology, that the stomachs
OF animals, macerated in water, impart TO
the fluid the properly of dissolving various
| articles Of food, and of efIeeting a kind OF
artificial digestion of them in no wise diff
ferent from the natural digestive process.D
