Digestion
Digestion is chiefly performed in the stomach by
the aid OF y fluid which freely exudes from the in
ner coat OF that organ when in a state Of health,
called the Gastric Juice. This fluid is the Creaf
Sotrent q ne Jood the Pugtsinq, I'reserring and
Stimulating Agent Of the stomach and intestnes
without IT there will be no dgcstion-no CONVEX
sion Of food into blood, and nutrition of the ho-
dy; but rather foul. torpid, painful and destruc-
tive condition ofthe whole digestive apparatus. A
weak, half-dead, or injured stomach produces no
good Gastric Juice, and hence the disease distress
and debility which ensue.
Pepsin and Rennet
Pepsin is the chief element, or great Digesting
Principle Of the Gastric Juice. II is found in great
abundance in the solid parts of the human stomach
after death, and sometimes causes the stomach to
digest itself eat itself up. II is also found in
the stomach ofaninals, 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 first process of digestion Rem
net possesses astonishing power. The stomach of
calf will curdle nearly one thousand times its
weight of milk Baron Liebig states that "0ne |
part of Pepsin dissolved in sixty thousand Parts of
water, will digest meat and other foodu Diseased
stomachs produce good Gastric Juice, Rennet or
Pepsin. To show that this want may be perfectly !
supplied We quote the following
scIENTIFfo EVIDENCE!

Chemistry, says: An Artificial Digestive Fluid !

DR.. Pereira, in his famous treatise on food and
Diet, published by Fowiers 4 Wells New York, |
page 49, states the same great fact and describes
ne method appropriation There are few higher |
a. .horities than DR. perera.
DR.. Combe, in his valuable writings on the "Phy- !.
sioogy of Digestion,' observes that n diminution
OF the due quantity Of the gastric juice is promi-
nent and ali-prevailing cause OF dyspepsia" and
he states that "a distinguished professor oil medi-
cine in London who Was severely afflicted with this
complaint, finding every thing else to fail, had

mach Of living animals, which PROF. eomfieeiy sue

DR. Granam, author ofthe famous works ON eve |

ing various articles Of FOOD and of effecting kind

DR.. Simons great work the Chemistry Of Man y
LEA & Blanchard, Phila, 1876, PIP. 32l-21 says
"The discovery of Pepsin forms new in the
chemical history ofDigestion. From recent exper-
iments we know that food is dissolved as rapidly
in an artificial digestive fluid, prepared from Pep
sin, as it is in the natural gastric juice itself"
Prof Dungison, of the Jefferson College. Phila-
delphia. in his great work on Human Physiology,
devotes more than fifty pages to an examination of
this subject. His experiments with DR. Beaumont,
on the gastric juice, obtained from the living hui
man stomach and from animals are well known
Sin all cases." he says, digestion occurred per-
fectly in the artificial as in the natural digestion
