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.
rfying, Preserving and 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; hut
rather foul. torpid painful, and destructive
condition of the whole digestive apparatus -
A weak. half dead otinured stomach produ.
ces no good Gastric Juice, and hence the dis.
ease, distress and debility which ensue.
i 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, or
eat itself up. It is also found in the stomach
of animals, as tho OK. calf &c. 1t is tn e ma
terial used by farmers in making cheese.
called Rennet, the effect Of which has long
been the special wonder Of the dairy. The
cording Of milk is the first process Of diges.
tion. Rennet possesesses astonishing pow
er. The stomach Of calf will curdle nearly
one thousand times its own weight of milk.
Baron Liebig states that "One part oil Pepsin
dissolved in sixty thousand parts Of water.
will digest meat and other food" Diseased
stomacks produce no good Gastiic Juice,
Rennet or Pepsn. To show that this wnnt
may be perfectly supplied wequote the fol-
SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE.
Baron Liebig, in his celebrated work on
Animal Chemistry, says: IAN Artificial
Digestive Fluid may be readily prepared from
the mucous membrane Of thestonach 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 "Food
and Diet" published by Wilson g. 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 Chems-
try in the Med cal College Of the University
OF New York. in his "Text Book oe Chemis.
try" page 1856 says. sit has been question
whether artificial digestion could be per-
formed--zbut il is now universally admitted
that it may be-"
Professor Dunglison OF Philadelphia, in his
great work on Human Physiology, deyotes
more than fifty pages to an examination oe
this subject. His experiments with DR..
Beaumont, on the Gastric Juice, obtained
from the living human stomach and from an
imals, are we'll known. .sGn all cases." he
says, "digeston occurred as perfectly in the
artificial as in the natural digestions."
Asa Dyspepsia Curer, DR.. Houghton's pre-
paration Of Pepsin has produced the most
marvellous effects, curing cases Of Debility,
Emaciation, Nervous Decline and Dyspepiic
Consumption, supposed to be on the very
verge Of the grave. 1t is impossible TO give
the details os cases in the limits of this I'D
vertsement-but authenticated certificates
have been given Of more than 200 remark
able cures in Philadelphia, New York and
Boston alone. These were nearly all des-
perate cases, and the cures were nor only
rapid and wonderful but permanent.
