 There seems to be no logical reason why the stomach should not digest itself when we consider the fact that it secretes diges- tive fluids and acids which are powerful enough to disintegrate and digest meats, eggs, fruitsy cereals. vegetables and other forms of food taken into it.
 In animals which were killed while in full digestion the stomach has under gone complete self-digestton after death, when the body was kept warm; and in human beings who have died suddenly, while digestion was going on, 1t was found at the autopsy that not only had the stomach been digested, but also the liver. pancreas. spleen and portions of the intestines.
 The question naturally presents itself. ssWhat protects the stomach from self digestion during life?" Dr. Hunter de- clared that the principle of life'' in nv- ing things protected this organ from being digested by it's own Auids, but pr. Barnard successfully demonstrated that the hind legs of a living frog. when intro- duced through fistula or artificial open ing into the stomach of a dog, undergoes complete digestion, and Dr. Paw. through similar experiment., found that the same was true of rabbits ear.
 While the normal stomach is immune from self-digestion, there are many cases
 
 standing gastritis. and perverted diges- tion. has completely digestsd or eaten away the mucous membrane lining of tho stomach. and in some instances has engendered gastrio ulcer, which ate its way clear through the stomach wall, and caused fatal peritonitaa.
