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 OF health, called the Gastric
Juice. This fluid is the Great solvent Of the
Food, the Purifying, Preserving, and Stimula-
ting Agent of the stomach and intenstines.
Without il there will be no digestion,-ne
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, halt
dead, or injured stomach produces no good
Gastric Juice, and hence the disnass dis.
ress and debility which eSsEa.
PEpsIN AND RENNET.-Pepsin is the chic
element. or great Digestlng Principle OF the
Gastric Juice. 1t is found in great abun-
dance IN the solid parts of the human stom-
ach after death, and sometimes causes the
stomach 10 digest itself, or eat itself up. It

the OK, calf, &c. 1t is the material used by
farmers in making cheese, called Rennet,
the effect of which has long been the spe-
cial 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 curdle nearly one thou
sand times its own weight of milk. Baro
Liebig states that, Zone part of Pepsin dis
solved in sixty thousand parts Of water, will
digest meat and other food" 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 LlEBIo, in Lis celebrated work on
nimal Chemistry, sa US: "An Artificial Di-
es,iye Fluid analago us to the Gastric Juice,
NAV be readily prepared from the mucous
pmembrane Of the stomach Of the Calf,
which various articles of food, as meat and
eggs. will be softened, changed, and diges-
ted, lust in the same manner as they would
be in the human stomach"
DR.. Pereira. in his famous treatise on
"Food and Diet" published by Fowlers g.
Wells, New York, page 35. states the same
great fact, and describes the method OF prep
a%ration. There are few higher authorities
than DR.. Pereira.
Dr. Combe, in his valuable writings on
The "Physiology of Digestion" observe
hat ia diminuuon of the due quantity o
he Gastric Juice is a prominent and all.pre-
ailing cause of Dyspepsia )" and he state,
that "a distinguished professor OF medicine
in London, who was severely afflicted with
this complaint finding every thing else to
fail. had recourse to the Gastric Juice, OBJ
tanned from the stomach of living animals
which proved completely successful"
DR.. Graham, author of the famous work
on vegetable Diet" says: cit is a remar-
kable fact in physiology, that the stomachs
of animals, macerated in water, impart to
the fluid the properly of dissolving various
articles of food, and of effecting a kind Of
artificial digestion of them in no wise diff
ferent from the natural digestive process"

Professor Dunglison Of the Jefferson Col.
lege, Philadelphia, in his great work on Hut
man Physiology, devotes more than fifty
pages to an examination of this subject.
His experiments with DR.. Beaumont, on the
Gastric Juice, obtaineffrom the living hi.
man stomach and from animals are well
known. "In all cases." he says, "digestion
occurred as perfectly in the artificial as the
natural digestions."
AS a DYSPEPSIA CURER, DR. Hough,on's
preparation of Pepsin has produced the
most marvellous effects, curing cases of De-
bility, Emaciation, Nervous Decline, and
d~ispeptic Consumption, supposed to be on
the very verge Of the grave. II is impose
