Digesiicin is chiefly pei•-• formed in .the stenach_by_the.ttid Of a_fluid. which freely exudes front the:inner:coat of that organ, when in a state of health, called the'dastric Juice: This fluid is the Glow Solvent of the Food, the Purifying', PreSoiv ing and Stimulating Agent of the stoinek and intestines. Without it therS will be,rl6 digestion no conversion of food intolAcicid; and nir nutrition of the body ; but rather a' _foul,,torpid, painful, and-destructive-condi-= tion of the whole digestive apparatus. - A weak, half dead, or injured stomach produ ces no good Gastric Juice, and hence the disease, distress and debility which ensue. Pepsin and Rennet.—Pepsin is the chief element, or great digesting principle of the . Gastric Juice. It is (mind in great abun dance in the solid parts of the human sto mach after death, and sometimes causes the stomach to digest itself, or eat itself up. It is also found in the stomach of animals. as the ox, calf, &c. It is the material used by farmers in making cheese, called Rennet, the effect of which has long been the spe cial wonder of the dairy: The curdling of - milk is the first process of digestion. Ren net possesses astonishing power. The stet mach of a calf will curdle nearly one thou sand times its own weight of milk. Baron Liebig states that, "One part of Pepsin dissolved in sixty thousand parts of water. will digest meat and other rood." Diseased stomachs produce no' good Gastric Juice, Rennet or Pepsin. To show that this want may be perfectly supplied, w' quote 'the following . • Scientific .L 7 videnec!—nnron Liebig, - in his celebrated work on Animal Chemistry. says: "An Artificial Digestive Fluid maer be readily prepared from the mucous mem brane of the stomach of the Call, in which various articles of food, as ineat and eggs, will be softened, changed, and digested, just in the same manner as they would be in the human stomach." Dr. Pereira, in his famous treatise on "Food and Diet," published by Wilson & Co., New York, page 35, states the same great fact, and describes the method of pre paration. There are few higher authori ties than Dr. Pereira Dr. John W. Draper, Professor of Che mistry in the Medical College of the Uni iersity of New York; in his "Text Book of Chemistry," page 386, says. "it has been a question whether artificial digestion could be performed—but it is now universally ad mitted that it may be." Professor Dunglison of Philadelphia, in, his great work Human Physiology, de= votes more than fifty pages to an examina tion of this subject. His experiments with Dr. Beaumont, on the Gastric Juice, ob tained from the living human stomach and from animals are well known - . "In all ca ses," "he says" "digestion occurred as per fectly it the artificial as in the natural di gestions."
