Why Does Not
The Stomach
Digest Itself :?
An UnsoIvabIe Problem, Which Has
Puzzled Physicians of All Schools.
A Trial Package of stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets Sent Free.

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 d~isintegrate and
digest meats, eggs, fruits, cereals, vege-
tables and other forms OF food taken
into it.
In animals which were killed while
in full digestion the stomach has un-
dergone complete self-digestion after
death, when the body was kept warm;
n in huiu~.. beings who have died
suddenly. while digestion was going on
it was found at the autopsy hat not
only had -..~ stomach been digested,
but also the liver. pancreas, spleen and
portions Of the intestines.
The question naturally presents itself.
what protects the stomach from self
digestion during life?" DR.. Hunter de-
clared that the principle of life" in
living things protected this organ from
being digested by its W fluids, but
DIR. Barnard successfully demonstrated
that the hind legs of q living frog, when
introduced through a fistu) or artificial
opening in.~ the stomach Of a dog, II
dergoes complete digestion, and DR..
Pavy. through similar experiment.

While the normal efomach'ie immune
from self-digestion, there are many
cases on record, however. in which a
long-stanoing gastritis, and perverted
digestion, mas completely digested or
eaten away the mucous membrane lin
ing Of the stomach. and in some in
stances has engt ~se~a1 gastric ulcer,
which ate its way clear through the
stomach van, uiiu cauged a fatal peri
tcnitis.

the stomach, which manifests itself by

storing ii o a normal condition, toning

ditions arising as will cause perverted

seating away f the mucous membrane
of the stomach.

ceedingly ~..SlluI digestives, O single
