DIGESTION.
Digestion is Chiefly performed in the
stomach BY the aid of a fluid which freely
exudes from the inner coat Of that organ,
when in a state oil health, called the Gastric
Juice. This fluid is the Great solvent OF the
Fooi, the Purifying, Preserving, and Sumula-
ling Agent of the stomach and intcnstines.
Without il there will be no digestion, mo
conversion Of food into blood, and no nu-
triton of the body; but rather a foul, torpid,
painful, and destructive condition OF the
whole digestive apparatus. A weak, half
dead, or injured stomach produces no good
Gastric Juice, and hence the disease, dis.
tres and debility which ensue.
PEpsIs AND REnNEr.-Pepsin is the chief
element. or great Digesting Principle of the
Gastric Juice. II is found in great abun.

ach after de nh, and sometimes causes the
stomach 10 digest itself, or eat itself up. 1t
is also found in the stomach of animals, as
the OK, calf, &c. iii the material used by
farmers in makirg cheese, called Rennet,
the effect Of which has long been the spe.
c,al wonder of the dairy. The curdliug of
milk is the first process Of digestion. Rem
net possesses astonishing power. The stom-
ach Of a calf will cnrdle nearly ora thou
rand times lis own weight of milk. Baron
Liebig states that, 'One part of Pepsin DIS
solved in sixty thousand parts Of water, will
digest meat aud other food" Diseased

may be perfectly supplied, we quote the

BARON LIrpIe, in Lis celebrated work on
Animal Chemistry, says can Artificial Di.
gesiive Fluid analogous to the Gastric Juice,
may be readily prepared from the mucous
membrane Of the stomach OF tho Calf, in
which various articles of food, as meat and
eggs. will be softened, changed, and diges.

DR.. Pereira. in his famous treatise or
"Food and Diet" published by Fowlers &
Wells, New York, page 35 states the same
great fact, and describes the method of prep
aration. There are few higher authorities
than DR.. Pereira.
DR. Combe, in his valuable writings on
fhe physiology Of Digestion" observes
that "a diminu,ion of the due quantity OF
the Gastric Juice is a prominent and all pre-
v%ailing cause Of Dyspepsia !" and he states
that ga distinguished professor Of medicine
in London, who was severely afflicted with
Jail, had recourse 10 the Gastric Juice, OBJ
tanned from the stomach of living animals,
(which proved completely successful,
DR.. Graham, author Of the famous works
on vegetable Diet, T" says: "it is a remar-
kable fact in physiology, that the siomachs
of animals, macerated in water, impart 10
the fluid the properly of dissolving various
articles of food, and OF efiecting a kind of
artificial digestion of them in no wise diff
ierent from the natural digestive process"

of Man. (Lea g. Blanchard, Phila.. 1886,
ID. 32i.2): "The discovery of PEPSIN

Di gestion. From recent experiments we

artificial digestive fluid, prepared from Pep.

Professor Dun2lison Of the Jefferson Col

man Physiology, devotes more than fifty
papcsto an examination of this subject.
Ills experiments with DR. Beaumont, on the
Gastric Juice, obtained from the living hL-
man stomach and from animals are well
known. "In allcases,n he says, s'digestion
occurred as perfectly in the artificial as the
natural digestions."
As DYSPEPSIA CuRER, DR. Houghton's
preparation Of Pepsin has produced the
most marvellous effects, curing cases of De-
bili,y, Emaciaiion, Nervous Decline, and
.dispepiic Consumption, supposed to be on
the very verge OF the grave. 1t is imposs-
