One of the greatest questions dis
turbing the minds of Psychologists
both past and present Is that Of the
stomach's digesting powers. 1t is
asked why the stomach does not digest
itself 1t Is well known that gastric
juices have the power to digest the tis-
sue of which the stomach is made.

thing. Why 1t does not eat the stomach
up is problematical.
1t is known that O stomach from a
dead animal or man can be digested
by living man. 1t has been found
out also that when man Is killed
accidentally and his stomach is in the
process Of digesting. il the body be
kept warm. his whole stomach will be
digested ana possibly, too. adjacent
organs. us liver. pancreas, etc. From
this it was argued that the principle

II was found thar the frogs leg was

planning the phenomenon.

eat itself up but that II Is being con.
