WHY DOES NOT
THE STOMACH
DIGEST ITSELF?

Puzzled Physicians Of All Schools.

There seems to &c 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 disinte-
crate and digest meats. eggs. fruits,
cereals. vegetables and other forms OF
food taken into IL.
In animals which were killed while
in full iii gestion he stomach has m
dergone complete self-digestion after
death. when the body was kept warm;
and I'm human beings VINO have died
suddenly. while digestion was going
on, il was found at the autopsy that
not only had the stomach been digest
ed. but also the l,ve: 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 demonstrated
that the hind legs OF a living frog,
when introduced through fstula or
artificial opening into the stomach OF
dog. undergoes complete digestion,
and DIR. Pavey, through similar expert.
ment, found that the same was true OF
n rabbits ear
While the normal stomach Is I'M
mune from self-digestion. there are
many cases on record, however. in
which a long-standing gastritis. and
perverted digestion. has completely di-
eested or eaten away the mucous mein-
brane lining OF the stomach, and In
some instances has engendered gas
trio ulcer. which ate its way clear
through. the stomach wall, and caused
n fatal peritonitis.

ulcer, or the eating away Of the mu-
cous membrane OF the stomach.
