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 a state OF health, called the Gastric
Juice. This fluid is the Great solvent of the
Food, the Purifying, Preserving, and Stimnla-
ting Agent Of the stomach and intensllnes.

SClENllFiC EVIDENCE
BARON LIEBIG, in Lis celebrated work on
Animal Chemistry, says Gan Artificial Di-
gesiive Fluid analogous to 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 soilened, changed, and diges-
tod, just in the same manner as they would
be in the human stomach"
DR.. Pereira, in his famons treatise on
"Food and Diet, published by Fowiers q

great fact, and describes the method OF prep
aration There arc few higher authorities
than DR.. Pereira.

this complaint. finding every thing else TO

tanned from the stomach of living animals,
which proved completely successful"
