s Digestion.
Digestion Is chiefly performed in the stomach by
the aid Of huid which freely exudes from the in
ner coat Of that organ, when in state Of health,
called the uAstric Juice. This fluid is the Great
Solvent " the food, tie Puus inc, Pvssrvirr. and

Without u there will be no digestion--no conver-
sion Of food into blood and no nutrition Of the ho
dy; but rather foul torpid, painful and destruc-
tive condision ofthe whole digestive apparatus A
weak, haf-dead, or injured stomach produces no
good Gastric Juice, and hence the disease distress
and debility which ensue.
tie Pepsia and Renaet.
Pepsin is the chief element, or great D,gsssiag
Principle Of the Gastric Juice. tits found in great
abundance in the solid parts ofthe human stomach
after death, and sometimes causes the stomach to
digest itself eat itself up. It is also found in
the stomach ofanimals, as the OK, calf &c. 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 irst process Of digestion. Rem
net possesses astonishing power The stomach of
calfwill curdle nearly one thousand times itsown
weight of milk. Baron Liebig states that s0ne
part of Pepsn dissolved in sixty thousand parts Of
water, will digest meat and other foodD Diseased
stomachs produce no good Gastric Juice, Rennet or
Pcpsin. TO show that this want may be perfectly
supplied, we quote the following s.

Baron Liebig, in his celebrated work on Animal
Chemistry, says: 'An 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 softe,ed, changed and dgested jaa

Prof Dunglison, of the Jefferson College, Phila-

devotes more than fifty pages to an examination of
this subject His experiments with DR. Beaumont
on the gastric juice, obtained from the living hu-
man stomach and from animals are well known.

rs Dyspepsia Curer,
Dr. uoughton's preraration of Pepsin has produced
the most marvellous effects curing cases of Debity
EmacsatioR, Nervous Decline, and Dyspepttc Con-
sumption, supposed to be on the very verge of the
grave. 1t is impossible to give the details of cases
in the limits of this Neutrality-suspicious. authenti-
Gated certificates have been given of more than 200
remarkable cures, in Philadelphia, New York and
Boston alone. These were nearly all desperate ca
SEES, and the cures were not only rapid and won
derful, but permanent.
