Excerpt from An Essay on Dental Surgery: For Popular Reading This fluid is a powerful solvent of all nutritious substances, and is secreted only when demanded by the introduction of food into the stomach. It is found only in the living sto mach, and is indispensable to digestion. When the digestion in the stomach is completed, the gas tric fluid and the food are completely commingled and con verted into a pulpy mass, called dig/me, which then passes through the lower orifice of the stomach into the small intes tine. Here it meets with the bile, the secretion of the liver, and also with a fluid resembling saliva, secreted by a gland called the pancreas. This mixture results in the production of a whitish fluid, with a sweet, and somewhat saltish taste. This fluid is called chyle, and it is the nutritive part of the food. The residue becoming less fluid, passes into the large intestine and is execrated from the system. The intestines, like the stomach, are composed of three coats. Numerous small glands are situated in the inner, or mucous membrane, which take up the chyle, or nutritive matter, and pass it into minute vessels called lacteals.
