DIGESTION.
Digestion is Chiefly performed in the
stomach by the aid OF a fluid which ireeiy
exudes from the inner coat OF that organ,
when in a state oil health, called the Gastric
Juice. This Aud is The Great solvent OF The
Fool, the Purifying, Preserving, and Slimuia-
ting Agent of the stomach and intenslnes.
Without i, there will be no digeslion,-no
conversion of food into blood, and no nu-
triton of the body; but rather 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.
PEpsIN AND RENNET.-Pepsin is the chief
element. or great Digesting Principle Of the
Gastric Juice. Ii is found in great abun-
dance IN the solid parts of the human stom-
Iach 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. Itis the material used by
farmers in makirg cheese, called Rennet,
the effect of which has long been the spe-
cial wonder OF the dairy. The curdlius of
milk is the first process of digestion. Rem
net possesses astonishing power. The stom-
sach of calf will curdle nearly one thou
sand times its own weight CT milk. Baron
Iiebig states that, 'One part OF Pepsin DIS
solved in sixty thousand parts Of water, will
digest meat and other food" Diseased
stomachs produce no good Gastric Juice
IRennet or Pepsin To show that this want
may be perfectly supplied, we quote the
following
g. SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE!
BARON LIEBIG, in Lis celebrated work on
Animal Chemistry, says: "An Artificial Di-
gesiive Fluid analogous TO the Gastric Juice,
may be readily prepared from the mucous
membrane of the stomach of the Calf, in
which various articles of food, as meat and
eggs. will be sottened, changed, and diges-
ted, Just in the same manner as they would
be in the human stomach"
DR.. Pereira. in his famous treatise on
etFood and Dietn 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 DIR. Pereira.
DR. Combe, in his valuable writings on
the "Physiology of Digestion" observes
that ia diminu,ion of the due quantity OF
the Gastric Juice is a prominent and all pre-
vailing cause of Dyspepsia" and he states
that ga distinguished professor of medicine
IN London, who was severely afflicted with
this complaint. finding every thing else to
fail, 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 s'vegetable Diet" says: "it is remar-
kable fact in physiology, that the stomachs
of animals, macerated in water, impart TO
the fluid the properly of dssolving various
articles of food, and of effecting a kind oi
artificial digestion of them in no wise diff
ferent from the natural digestive process"
Dr. Simon's great work, the Chemistry
of Man, (Lea & Blanchard, Phila.: 1916
PIP. 321-2): The discovery of pEPSlN
10 ms new era in the chemical history o
Di gesiion. From recent experiments we
know that food is dissolved asrapidly in al
artificial digestive fluid, prepared from Pep
sir, as il is in the natural Gastric Juice it
self.n
Professor Dunglison Of the Jefferson Col
lege, Philadelphia, in his great work on HUI
man Physiology, devotes more than fifty
<Ntt H.
His experiments with DR. Beaumont Oh the
Gastric Juice, obtained from the living hi
man stomach and from animals are vel
knowE 'In all cases." he says, "digestior
occurred as perfectly in the artificial as the
natural digestions."
AS q DYSPEPSIA CURER, DR. IIoughton',
preparation of Pepsin has produced the
most marvellous effects, curing cases of De-
biliiy, Emacialion, Nervous Decline, aue
dispeptic Consumption, supposed 10 be OF
the very verge OF The grave. Ii is imposs
Bile 10 give the details of cases in the limi
of this adverlisement-but authenticate
certificates have been of more than tiro hun
drcd Remarkable Cures, in Philadelphia, New
York, and Boston alone. These were
nearly all desperate cases, and the cure:
were not only rapid and wonderful, but per
manent.
II is grea, Nervous Antilote, and par
ticularly useful for tendency TO bilious dis
order, Liver Complaint, Fever and Ague,. o
badly treated Fever and Ague, and the evi
effects of Quinine, Mercury, and other drugs
upon the Digestive organs, after long sick
