Scientific Evidence.
BARON LIEBIG, in his celebrated work on An
inn, Chemistry, SAYS: IAN Artificial Digestive
Fluid, analogous the Gastric Juice. may be read

stomach Of the Calf. in which various articles OF

DR.. PEREIRA, in his famous treatise on "Food

York, page 49, states the same great fact and des-
cribes the method OF preparation. There are few
| higher authorities than Dr. Pcreirs.
DR.. COMBE, in his valuable writings the
Physiology Of Digestion" observes that "a diuli-
mutton ofthe iuequnntty Of the Gastric Juiceis a
prominent and all-prevaing Of Dyspepsia

il may be readily separated from tho calf OK, and
