DIGESTION.
| Digestion is chiefly performf in the stom-
ach by the aid Of q 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 Pu.
rifying. Preserving ana Stimulating Agent Of
the stomach and intestines. Without il there
will be no digestion-no conversion Of food
into blood, and no nutrition Of the body; but
rather foul, torpid painful, and destructive

PEPSIN AND RENNET.
Pepsin is the chief element or great diges.
ting principle OF the Gastric Juice. II is
found in great abundance in the solid parts
of the human stomach after death, and some-
times causes the stomach to digest itself, OF
eat itself up. II is also found in the stomach
of animals, as tho OK. calf. SC. 1t is the ma

called Rennet, the effect Of which has long

Professor Dunglison OF Philadelphia, in his
great work on Human Physiology. devotes
more than fifty pages to an examination o!
this subject. His experiments with DR.

from the living human stomach and from an.
imals, are well known. 'In all cases." he
says. "digestion occurred as perfectly in the
artificial as in the natural digestions."
