Digestion.
Digestion is chiefly performed in the stomach by
the aid of 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 Great
lSoicent Of M. food, The Prgfsing Preserving, and
.Signaafing Agent of the stomach and intestnes
Without it there will be no digestion CONVEX
sion of food into blood and no nutrition Of the bo-
dy but rather foul. torpid, painful and destruc-
tive condition of the whole digestive apparatus
weak, half-dead, or injured stomach produces no
good Gastric Juice, and hence the disease distress
and debility which ensue.
Pepsin and Rennet.
Pcpsin is the chief element, or great Digesting
Principle Of the Gastric Juice 1t is found in great
abundance in the solid parts of the human stomach
after death, and sometimes causes the stomach to
digest itself or eat itself up. 1t 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 first process of digestion. Rem
net possesses astonishing power The stomach Of
calf will curile nearly one thousand times its own

water, will digest meat and other foodp Diseased
stomachs produce no good Gastric Juice, Rennet or
pepsin To show that this want may be perfectly
supplied, we quote the following
SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE!
Baron Liebig, in his celebrated work on Animal
Chemistry says: San Artificial Digestive Fluid
analogous to the gastric juice may be readily pre-
pared from the mucous membrane of the stomach
the calf in which various articles offood as meat
and eggs, will be sedened changed and dgested Just
the manner as they aro,ad be inthe human sto-
mach.o
DR. Pereira, in his famous treatise on "Food and
Dietn published by Fowlers & Wells, New York,
page 35, states the same great fact and describes
the method appropriation. There are few higher
authorities than DIR. Pereira.
Dr. Combe, in his valuable writings on the 'Phy-
sology of Digestion observes that "a diminution
nent and all-prevailing cause of Dyspepsia; !" and
he states that "a distinguished professor of medi-
cine in London who was severely afflicted with this
complaint finding every thing else to fail had re-
course to the gastric juice obtained from the sto-
mach Of living animals, which proc eompta elysuc-
| cessfdo
| Dr. GRAHAM, author ofthe famous works on eve
getable Diet says at Isl remarkable fact in ply
sology, that the stomachs of animals, macerated in
water, impart to the fluid the property of dssolv-
ing various articles of food, and Of effeeing kind
of artificial digestion of them mise dGerent from
| The natural digestipe process"
| DR.. Simon's great work. the ':Chemistry of Man, =
! iLea y Blanchard, Phia., 1916, PIP. 321-2) says
| sThe discovery of Pepsn forms new era in the
chemical history ofDigestion. From recent exper-
ments we know lie. food is dissolved as rapidly
in an artificial digestive fluid, prepared from Pep.
sin, as it is in the natural gastric juice tselfn
Prof Dunglison Of the Jefferson College, Phila

deyotes more than fifty pages to an examination o.

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
fecty in the artificial as in the natural digestion
