apprehension and anger will pre-
vent this flow of appetite juice"
and no provision will be made to
care for the food as 1t enters the
stomach. The stomach Is known
a the mixer. The presence OF
food and the digestive juice stimu-
lates the glands Of the stomach
walls to throw out more needed
Juices.
Juices Go to Work
Different foods stimulate the
now Of different chemicals. Fats
do not stimulate this flow. but
proteins excite q free flow Of Juice.
SUGARS and stare hes are not
changed In the stomach and they
produce no results there. The pro-
teins are about the only forms
Of food digested In the stomach.
The alternate contracting and
relaxation Of the muscles OF the
stomach churn all the food and
mix 1t thoroughly with digestive
Juices, rendering the whole into q
1luid mass. Orange Juice taken at
the beginning Of breakfast needs
no digestion. So 1t passes into
the stomach and along its upper
walls and out into the intestine
before the other food comes along
Then the cereal. toast. eggs and
milk come along. The gastric Juice
does not have much effect on fats.
It only dissolves the fbrous cap
sules that inclose the fat globules
and prepares them for the fat
dieeating substances in the small
Intestine.
The ptyalin Of the saliva dis
solves the starch. but the hydro
chloric acid stops that. The curdl-
Ing Of milk by the rennin is for
the purpose Of rendering 1t solid
% that It can be acted on for its
protein content. The hydrochlOric
ocid and pepsin go to work on the
p9oteinS Of the toast. egg and
milk, breaking them down into
various chemical elements to be
reduced by the intestinal Juice
The Intestinal juices could do II
all.i II necessary.
Finally the entire mass Is
Churned, mixed and broken UP
until there are no solid particles
After this Is done the pyloric open
\ Ing Of the stomach Is forced open
and some Of this mixture Is re-
leased into the intestine. But any
Irritating masses are held back fol
! more churning and mixing. After
about three hours the stomach
\ becomes empty and 1t should be
Given q rest period.
