Scientific Evidence.
Baron Liebig in his celebrated work on AMI
NAL Chemistry says: tAn Artificial Digestive
Fluid, analogous to the Gastric Juice, may be
readily prepared from the mucous membrane OF
the stomach Of the Calf, in which various arti-
clos offood, as meat and eggs, will be softcncd,
changed aid digested, Just in the same manor
as they would be in the human stomach
DR.. Combe, in his valuable writings on the
Physiology Of Digestion, observes that a dimi-
mutton Of the due quantity Of the Gastric Juice
is prominent and all-prevailng cause Of Dys-

Professor Dunglison, Of the Jefferson College,
Philadelphia, in his great work on Human Ply

Dr.. Beaumont, On the Gastric Juice obtained
from the living human stomach and from ami
mails, arc we'll known. sIn all cases. he says,
digestion occurred as perfectly in the artificial
as in the natural digesiions.'
