DIGESTION.
Digestion is Chiefly performed IN inc
stomach BY the aid of a fluid which Freely
exudes from the inner coat Of that organ,
when in a state oil health, called the Gastric
Juice. This fluid is the Great solvent OF The
Foot, the Purifying, Preserving, and Slimula-
ling Agent of the stomach and intcnstlnes.
Without il there will be no digestion, no
conversion of food into blood, and no nu-
triton of the body; but rather a foul, torpid.
painful, and destructive condition OF the
whole digestive apparatus. A weak, hall
dead, or Injured stomach produces no good
Gastric Juice, and hence the disease, dis
Tres and debility which ensue.
PrpMN AND REsNET.-Pepsin is the chlei
element. or great Digesting Principle of the
Gastric Juice. 1t is found in great abun-
dance IN the solid parts Of the human stom-
.ach after de ilh, and sometimes causes the
stomach 10 digest itself, or eat itself up. II
is also found in the stomach of animals, as
the OK, cali, sc. II is the material used by
Farmers in making cheese, called Kennel,
rthe effect Of which has long been the spe.
c,al wonder of the dairy. The curdliug OF
milk is the first process Of digestion. Rem
ne, possesses astonishing power. The stom-
ach of a calf will curdle nearly one thou
sand times iis own weight Of milk. Baron
Liebir states that, 'One part OF Pepsin dis
solved in sixty thousand part. Of water, will
+. digest meat and other food" Diseased
s,omcchs produce no good Gastric Juice
Rennc, or Pepsin. To show that this want
may be perfectly supplied, we quote the
following
SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE!
BARON LrEBIG, in Lis celebrated work on
Animal Chemistry, says: "An Artificial Di-
qes,iye 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 softcned, changed, and diges.

be in the human stomach"
DR.. Pereira. in his lannon's treatise on
'sFood and Diet" published by Fowlers X
Wells, New York, page 35. states the same
great fact, aud describes the method of prep
%ura,ion. There are few higher authorities
than DR.. Pereira.
DR. Combe, in his valuable writings on
the "Physiology of Digestion" observes
1 that "a diminulion Of the due quantity oil
the Gastric Juice is a prominent aud 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 10 the Gastric Juice, OBJ.
tanned from the stomach of living animals,
which proved completely successful.
Or. Graham, author of the famous works
on Vegetable Diet, says: sit is n rcmar-
kable fact in physiology, that The stomachs
Of animals, macerated in wafer, impart 10
the fluid the properly Of dissolving various
articles Of food, and of e~flecling a kind oil
