DIGESTION.
Digestion is chiefly performt in the stom-
ach 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 Pu.
rifying, Preserving and Stimulating Agent Of
the stomach and ntestines. Without it there
will be no dgestion-no conversion Of food
into blood, and no nutrition Of the body; but
rather foul, torpid painful, and destructive
condition Of The whole digestive apparatus =
A weak half dead or injured stomach produ.
ces no good Gastric Juice, and hence the dis.
ease, distress and debility which ensue.
PEPsIN AND RENNET. .,,,
Pepsn is the chief element or great dges.
| ting principle OF the Gastric Tuice. It is
found in great abundance in the solid parts
Of the human stomach after death, and some
! times causes the stomach to digest itself, or
ent itself up. It is also found in the stomach
Of animals, 8 tho OK. calf. &c. 1t is the ma
terial used by farmers in making cheese,
| called Rennet, the effect OF which has long
been the special wonder Of the dairy. The
cordling ofmllk is the first process Of diges.

one thousand times its own weight o. milk.
Baron Liebig states that Zone part oil Pepsin
dissolved in sixty thousand parts OF water,
will digest meat and other food.n Diseased
stomacks produce no good Gastric Juice,
Rennet or Pepsn. To show that this want
may be perfectly supplied wequote the fol-
lowing:
Baron Liebe, in his celebrated work on
Animal Chemistry, Gays: "An Artificial
Digestive Fluid may bereadi,y prepared from
the mucous membrane of thestomach of the
calf. in which various articles OF food, as
meat and eggs. will be softencd, changed
and digested. Just in the same manner as
they would be in the human stomach"
DR.. Pereira in his famous treatise on STOOD
and Dlet,n published by Wilson & Co., New
York. page 35, states the same great fact, and
describes the method Of preparation. There
are few higher authorities than Dr. Pereira
DR.. John w. Draper, Professor Of Chemis-
try in the Med cal College of the University
OF New York. in his "Text Book OF Chemis
try" "page 388 says. sit has been question
whether artificial digestion could be per-
,formed--but it is now universally admitted
that it may be-"
Professor Dunglison OF Philadelphia, in his
great work on Human Physiology. devotes
more than fifty pages to an examination OF
this subject. His experiments with Dr..
Beaumont, on the Gastric Juice, obtained
from the living human stomach and from an
imals, are well known. ''In all cases,n he
SAYS, ..digestion occurred as perfectly in the
artificial as in the natural digestions" y,

marvellous effects, curing cases of Debility,
Emaciation. Nervous Decline and Dyspeptic
