Scientific Evidence.
Baron Liebig in his celebrated work on Ami
NAL Chemistry says: San Artificial Digestive
Fluid, analogous to the Gastric Juice, may be
readily prepared from the mucous membrane Of
the stomach Of the Calf, in which various ari-
ccs of food, rs meat and eggs, will be soitencd,
changed aid digcstcd, just in tho same manner
MS they would be in the human stomach.
Or. Connie, in his valuable writings on the
Physiology Of Digestion, observes that a dimi'
mutton Of the due quantity Of the Gastric Juice
is prominent and all-prcvailing cause Of Dys-
pcpsia : and he states that distinguished pro-
lessor Of medicine in London, who, was severe
ly afflicted with this complaint, finding every
thing else to fail, had recourse 10 the Gastric
Juice obtained from the stonacls Of living ami
mails, which proved completely sncc0sfM.'
Professor DungiiSon, Of the jefferson College,
phiiadclp hia, in his great work on Human Ply
sicI"gy, dcvotes more than fifty pages to an ex-
animation of this subject. His experiments with
Dr.. Beaumont, on the Gastric Juice obtained
from the living human stomach and from AMI
mails, arc well known. In all cases. he says,
digestion occurred as perfectly in the artificial
as in the natura! digcstions.'
