DIGESTION.
Digestion is chiefly performtd in the stom.
ach by the aid Of huid which fr. ely exudes
from the inner coat Of that organ, when in "a
state of bealih. called the Gastric Juice. This
fluid is the Great Solvent of the Food, the Pu-
rifying, Preserving and Stimulating Agent Of
the stomach and intestines. Without II there
will be no digestion--no conversion Of food
into blood, and no nutrition Of the body; but
rather foul. torpid painful, and destructive
condition OF the whole digestive apparatus -
A weak, half dead or injured stomach proda.
ces no good Gastric JUICE, and hence the dis
ease, distress and debility which ensue.
PEPSIN AND RENNET.
pepsn is the chief element or great diges-
ing principle OF the Gastric luce, II is
found in great abundance in the solid parts
of the human stomach after death, and some
times causes the stomach 10 digest itself, or
eat itself up. 1t is also found in the stomach
of anmals. as the OK. calf. &c. II is the ma
trral used by farmers in making cheese,
called Ronnet, the effect OF which has long
been the special wonder of the dairy. The
cordling OF milk is the first process of digcs.
tion. Rennrt possesosses astonishing pow.
er. The stomach Of a calf will curdle nearly
one thousand times its own weight of milk.
Baron Liebg states thar Zone part OF Pepsin
dissolved IN sixty thousand paris OF water,
will digest meat aud other food" Diseased
stonarks produce no good Gastric Juice,
may be perfectly supplied wo quote the lol-

SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE.
Baron Liebig, in his celebrated work on
Animal Chemistry, Gays: IAN Artificial
Digestive Fluid may be readily prepared from
the mucous membrane of the stomach OF the
calf. IN winch various articles or food, as
meat and eggs. will be softencd, changed
they would be in the human stomach"
DR.. Perera in his famous treatise on ''Food
and Diet" published BY Wilson &, Co., New
York, page 80. states the snme great fact, and
describes the method Of preparation. There
are few higher authorities than DR.. Prreira.

Try in the Med col College Of the University
of New York, in his Text Book os Chemis-
uy :" page $3.50 says, ait has been question
whether artificial digestion could be per-
lormed-but it is now universally admitted
that it may be-"
Prof,ssor Dunglison OF Philadelphia. in his
great work on Human Physiology, devotcs
more than fifty pages 10 an examination os
this subject. His experiments with Dr..
Beaumont on the Gastric Juice, obtained
from the living human stomach and from an
imals, are well known. "ln oil cascs,'' he
says, "digestion occurred as perfectly in the
artificial as in the natural digestiops."
| Asa Dyspepsia Curor, Dr.. Houghton's pre-
paraton OF pepsin has produced the mos,

Emacation, Nervous Decline and Dyspeptic
