Not illustrated. 1847 Excerpt: ...15 mins.--introduced two ounces of rare, roasted beef, suspended by a string, into the stomach; and at the same time, put one drachm of the same kind of meat into twelve drachms of gastric juice, contained in a vial, and put it into his hosom. The piece in his stomach, examined every hour, till 12 o'clock, M. exhibited an uniform, but very slow 'process of digestion, confined entirely to the surface of the meat. In four hours, about half of it, only, was dissolved and gone. That in the bosom, at the same time, digested still slower, owing, probably, to the circumstances, that the fluid in the vial had been taken out when the stomach was in a morbid condition, and had heen permitted to get cold, even to the freezing point. This last circumstance, however, was probably, of less importance than the other. The meat in the stomach was too much confined by the string; was not permitted to move about freely in the gastric fluids by the natural motions of the stomach; and consequently did not digest so fast as it otherwise would have done. Another circumstance or two, may also, have contributed to interrupt the progress of digestion, such as anger and impatience, which were manifested by the subject during this experiment. This experiment shows the necessity of a perfect comminution of the articles of diet. The gastric juice acted very slowly on a large, solid piece of meat. Digestion or solution was confined entirely to the outer surface. This, in addition to the other causes, mentioned above, produced the delay in digestion. Experiment 35. March 14. At 12 o'clock, M.--ate a pint of milk, and four ounces of bread. Examined stomach in thirty minutes--found the milk coagulated, and the bread reduced to a soft pulp, floating in a large proportion of fluid. At 10 o'cl...
