SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE.
Baron Liebig, in his celebrated work on
| Animal Chemistry, says: "An Artificial
Digestive Fluid may be readily prepared from
the mucous membrane Of the stomach of the
calf, in which various articles of food. az
meat and eggs. will be softencd, changed
and digested, just in the same manner az
they would be in the human stomach" ~
DR.. Pereira in his famous treatise on STOOD
and Diet" published by Wilson & Co., New
York, page 35, states the same great fact, and
describes the method of preparation. There
are few higher authorities than DR.. Pereira.

Professor Dunglson OF Philadelphia, in his
great work on Human Physiology, deyotes
more than fifty pages to an examination OF
this subject. His experiments with Dr..
Beaumont, on the Gastric Juice, obtained
from the living human stomach and from an

says, "digestion occurred as perfectly in the
