Pepsin is the chief element or dgestng principle of the
Gastric Juice-the solvent of the food the purifying pre-

DR. Combe in his valuable writings on the Paysioogy
of Digestion observes that " dninunon OF the due guam

dissolved rapidly artificial digestive fluid prepared

Professor Dungson of the Jefferson College Philadelphia,
in his great work Human Physiology, devoteS than
fifty pages to examination of this subject His expert
ments with DR.. Beaumont, the Gastric Juice obtained
from the living human stomach and from animals, are well
known. In all cases. he says digestion occurred per-
fectly in the artificial as in the natural digestion"
Dr. John w. Draper Professor of Chemistry in the Col
lege of the University of New York in his Text Book of
Chemistry page 1885, says: lthas been question whether
artificial digestion could performed it is unyer

Dr. Carpenters standard work on Physiology which is in
the library every physician and is used textbook in
all he colleges is full of evidence similar to the above
speeding the remarkable digestive power of Pepsn and the
fact that il may be readily separated from the stomach of the
calf OK and used for expermensin artificial Digestion
remedy for diseases OF the stomach and deficient secIe
ton of the Gastric Juice.
All modern works or Chemistry Materia Medca and Ply
siology and all good Medical Dictionaries describe the char
and properties of Pepsn and state many interesting
details respecting it.
Thefac that an Artificial Digestive Fluid or Gastric Juice
perfectly resembling the natural Huld may be readily
pared does not admit of question. The only wonder is that
It has not before been applied the of Indigestion and
Dyspepsia naturally does such suggest Itself to the
mind.
