There seems to be no logical reason
why the stomach should not digest it,
self when we consider the fact that it
secretes digestive fluids and acids
which are powerful enough to disipte-
CRATE and digest meats, eggs, fruits,
cereals, vegetables and other forms of
food taken into 1t.
In animals which We're killed while
in full digestion the stomach has I'M
dergone complete self-digestion after
death, when the body was kept warm;
and in human beings who have died

not only had the stomach been digest
ed but also the liver, panereas, spleen,
and portions of the intestineS.

self What protects the stomach from
self digestion during life?" DR.. Hunter
declared that the principle OF life
in living things protected this organ
from being digested by its own fluids,
but DR.. Barnard successfully demon
strated that the hind legs OF living
frog, when introduced thru a fistula
or artificial opening into the stomach
of dog, undergoes complete digestion,
and DR.. Pavy. thru similar expert

ing of the stomach, and in some in
stances has engendered gastric ulcer
which ate its way clear thru the
stomach wall, and caused a fatal perl
