There seems to be no logical reason
why tbe stomach should not digest it
self when we consider the fact that 1t
secretes digestive fluids and acids
which are powerful enough to d1slute-
crate and digest meats. eggs, fruits,
cereals, vegetables and other forms or
food taken into it.
In animals which were killed While
I'm fun digestion the stomach has un-
dergone complete self-digestion after
death, when the body was kept warm;
and in human beings who have died
suddenly, while digestion was going
on. it was found at the autopsy that
not only had the stomach been digest
ed, but also the liver, pancreas, spleen,
and portions of the intestines.
The question naturally presents it.
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 a living
frog, when introduced through fistuia
or artificial opening into the stomach
of a dog, undergoes complete digestion.
and DIR. Pavy, through similar expert
ment, found that the same was true
of a rabbits ear.

from self-digestion, there are many
cases on record. however, in which d
long standing gastritis and perverted
digestion has completely digested or
eaten away the mucous membrane lin
ing of the stomach, and in some in
stances has engendered gastric ulcer,
which ate it's way clear through the
stomach wall, and caused q fatal peri
tonitis.
