DIGESTION.
Digestion is chiefly performtd in the stom.
acb by the aid of fluid which gr ely exudes
from the inner coat Of that organ. when inu
state of health, 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 Il there
will be no dgestion-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 produ-
ces no good Gastric Juice. and hence the dis
ease, distress and debility which ensue.
PEPSINs AND RENNET.
Pepsin is the chief element or great diges.

found in great abundance in the solid parts
Of the human stomach after death, and some-
times causes the stomach to digest itself, or
eat itself up. II is also found in the stomach
of animals, as the OK. calf. &c. II is the ma

been the special wonder of the dairy. The

tion. Rennet possesesses astonishing pow
er. The stomach Of a calf will curdle nearly
one thousand times its own weight OF milk.
Baron Liebig states that Zone part oi Pepsin
dissolved in sixty thousand parts OF water,
will digest meat and other food.p Diseased
stomacks produce no good Gastric Juice,
Rennet or Pepsin. To show that this want
may be perfectly supplied we quote the fol-
lowing:
SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE.
Baron Lebig, in his celebrated work on
Animal Chemistry, Gays: "An Artificial
Digestive Fluid may be readily prepared from
the mucous membrane Of the stomach of the
calf. in which various articles OF food. an
meat and eggs. will be softencd, changed
and digested. Just in the same manner 90
they would be in the human stomach"
Or. Pereira in his famous treatise on s.Food
and Det,n published bv 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.

Of New York, in his "Text Book OF Chemis.
try" page 1856 says, 'it has been question
whether artificial digestion could be per-
formed-but il is now universally admitted
that it may be.''
Professor Dunglison OF Philadelphia, in his
great work on Human Physiology, devotes
more than fifty pages to 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. "In all cases,n he
says, "digestion occurred as perfectly in the
artificial as in the natural digestions.''
