Pepsin is the chief element, or great Diossfing
Principle of the Gastric Juice It's found in great
abundance in the solid parts Of the human stomach
after death, and sometimes causes the stomach to
digest ITSELF or eat itself up 1t is also found in
the stomach ofanimals, as the OK, calf, sc. 1t is
the material used by farmers in making cheese
called Rennet, the 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
calf wilcurdle nearly one thousand times Its own
weight of milk Baron Liebig states that aOne
part of Pepsin dissolved in sixty thousand rarts of
water, will digest meat and other foodp Diseased
sto,nachs produce no good Gastric Juice, Rennet or
Pepsin. To show that this want may be perfectly
supplied, we quote the following
SCIENTIFIC zv1DENcE!
Baron Liebig, in his celebrated work on Animal
Chemistry, says: can Artificial Digestive Fluid
analogous to the gastric juice may be readily pre-
pared from the mucous membrane of the stomach
ofthe calf in which various articles offood as meat
and eggs, will be sotened, changed, and dgested jug
the same manner as they wod be ia the hannah sto.

DR.. Pereira in his famous treatise on sFood and
Diet" published by Fowlers l. Wells, New York,
page 49, states the same great fact, and describes
he method ofpreparation. There are few higher
authorities than DR.. Pereira.
DR.. Combe, in his valuable writings on the ssPhy-
siology cfDigcstion," observes that "a dimnution
of the due quantity of the gastric juice is promi-
nent and all-prevailing cause Of Dyspepsia !" and
he states that "a distinguished professor of medi-
cine in London, who was severely afflicted with this
complaint, finding every thing else to fail, had re-
course to the gastric juice obtained from the sto
mach of living animals, which PROV completely suc-

Dr.. Granam, author ofthe famous works on eve

siology, that the stomachs of animals, macerated in
water, impart to the fluid the property of dissov-
ing various articles Of food, and of effecting kind

Dr. Simon's great work the chemistry OF Man, ,
LEA g. Blanchard, Phila., 1916, PIP. 32l-2,) says:
''The discovery of Pepsin forms new era in the
chemical history ofDigestion. From recent exper-
iments We know that food is dissolved as rapidly
in an artificial digestive fluid, prepared from Pep
sim as it is in the natural gastric juice itselfn
Prof Dungison, of the Jefferson College. Phila-
dephia in his great work on Human Physiology,
devotes more than fifty pages to an examination of
this subject His experiments with DR.. Beaumont,
on the gastric juice obtained from the living HUI
man stomach and from animals, are well known.
In all cases. he says, digestion occurred as per-
fectly in the artificial as in the natural digestion
