Digestion
Digestion is chiefly performed in the stomach by
the aid of fluid which freely exudcs from the in
ner coat OF that organ, when in state of health,
called the Gastric Juice This fluid is the Grcdt
Soteent Of the food, The Purifying, Preserring, and
Stimulating Agent of the stomach and intestincs.
Without 1t there will be dgestion-no CONVEX
sion of food into blood, and no nutrition fthe bo-
dy; but rather foul torpid, painful and dcstruc-
tive condition of the whole digestive apparatus A
weak, half-dcad, or injured stomach produces no
good Gastric Juice and hence the disease distress
and debility which ensue.
PepSin and Rennet
Pepsn is the chief clement or great Digesting
Principle of the Gastric Juice 1t is found in great
abundance in the solid parts of the human stomach
after death and sometimes causes the stomach to
digest ITSELF eat itself up. II is also found in
the stomach ofanimals, as the OK, calf &c. 1t is
the material used by farmers in making cheese
called Rennct thc effect of which has long since
been the special wonder of the dairy. The curd-
ling of milk is the first process of digestion Rem
net possesses astonishing power. The stomach of
calfwiH curdle nearly one thousand times its own
WEIGHT of milk. Baron Liebig states that Gone
mart of Pcpsip dissolved in sixty thousand Parts of
rsater viii J;aest meat and other foodn Diseased
stomacbs nrodnce no good Gastric Juice Rennet or
Pepsin. To show that this want may be perfectly

Baron Liebis, in his celebrated work on Animal
Chemistry, says; An Artificial digestive Fluid
analogous to the gastric juice may be readily pre-
pared from The mucous membrane OF the stomach
the calf IN which various articles offood as meat
and eggs will be Setened, changed, and disesed Just
in the same manner as tey woutd be IN the human sto
