SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE.
Baron Liebig in his celebrated work on
Animal Chemistry, says: "An artificial di-
gesuve fluid, analogous to the gastric Juice.
may be readily prepared from the mucous
membrane Of the stomach of the calf in
which various articles of food, Us meat and
eggs, will be softcned changed and dircstcd.
lust IN the same manner us they would be
in the human stOmdch."
Dr. Combr, in his valuable writings on the
"Physiology of Digceii H." observes that ~
dimlnntiOn of the duequantity of the p.s.
tric juice is prominent and Ill prevailing
cause of Dyspepsia; and he states that -. n
distinguished Professor of Medicine in Lon
don, who was severely afflicted with this
complaint, finding everything else to fail, h.. d
recourse to the gastric juice, obtained fir, m
the stomach of living animals, which proved
to be perfectly successful"
