In full digestion the stomach has M
dergone complete self-digestion after

living things protected this organ from
being digested by it's own fluids. but
Dr. Barnard successfully demonstrated
that the hind legs OF a living frog.
when introduced through a nstula or
artificial opening into the stomach or
dog, undergoss complete digestion.
and Dr. Pavey, through similar expert
ment, found that the same was true OF
rabbits ear.
While the normal stomach Is i'm
mune from seif-digestion. there are
many cases on record however. III
which a long-stsnding gastritis. AMI

gested or eaten away the mucous menu
brane lining OF the stomach. and in
some instances has engendered gas
