There seems to be no logical req son why the stomach should not di- gest itself when we consider the fact that it secretes digestive fluids and acids which are powerful enough to disintegrate and digest meats. eggs, fruits, cereals, vegetables and other forms Of food taken into it.
 In animals which were killed while in Full digestion of the stomach has undergone complete self-digestion after death. when the body was kept warm: and in human beings who haS C died suddenly. while digestion was go- ing on, it was found at the autopsy trat not only had the stomach been digested. but also the liver, pancre2s. spleen, and portions of the inestines.
 The question naturally presents it. self: What nrotects the stomach frO,n seli- dige stion during liIe?" D.. IJ.in- ter declared that the principle of life in living things protected this organ firm being digested by it's own fluids. but Dr. Barnard successfully demon- straied that the hind legs of living fog. when !r.troGuced through a fis- tula or artificial opening into. the stomach of a dog. undergoes complete digestion, and Dg, Paw. through sin- liar experiment, found that the same was true of rabbits ear.
 While the normal stomach is inn mune from self digestion, there are rlany cases on record, however, ,n which a long g-standing gastritis. and perverted digestion. has completely digested or eaten away the mucous membrane lining of the stomach, and in some instances has engendered gas- tric ulcer. which ate it's way clear through the stomach wall. and caused a fatal peritonitis.
 In all cases of perverted function of the stomach which manifests itself by the numerous well-knOwn symptoms of indigestion and dyspepsia.
