What a mocker of our petty human dignity is this dyspepsia, bringing low the haughtiest of us, less than love itself a respecter of persons. This was a different Derek from the man who had stalked stiffly from the room two hours before. His pride had been humbled upon the rack. "Pepsin?" Freddie blinked, the mists of sleep floating gently before his eyes.
This curious analogy of properties, positive for albuminous, negative for fatty matter, proclaims the similarity and perhaps the identity of the dissolvent discharged by the grubs and the pepsin of the higher animals. Here is another proof: the usual pepsin does not dissolve the epidermis, which is a material of a horny nature. That of the maggots does not dissolve it either.
"'Get anything out of that? I asks. "'That reminds me, says he; 'add $8.50 for pepsin. Yes, I got indigestion. "'How am I supposed to push along your scramble for prominence? I inquires. 'Contrast? "'Something of that sort to-night, says Vaucross.
This is accomplished by the trypsin, which is similar to, but more active than, the pepsin. It digests fat. In this work the active agent is the steapsin. The necessity of a milk-curding enzyme, somewhat similar to the rennin of the gastric juice, is not understood. *Digestion of Fat.*—Several theories have been proposed at different times regarding the digestion and absorption of fat.
Scrape the mucous surface firmly with the back of a knife blade, and rub up the scrapings in a mortar with fine sand. Add water, and rub up the whole vigorously for some time, and filter. The filtrate is an artificial gastric juice. The glycerine dissolves the pepsin, and on filtering, a glycerine extract with high digestive properties is obtained.
The albumen which was immersed in acidulated water only quickly dried, superficially, when placed on blotting paper, whereas that which had been acted on by pepsin was rendered glutinous and incapable of being dried in this manner. In fact, one sample weighed considerably more than it did at starting, even after deducting the allowance for water absorbed.
I would rather deal with Asiatic cholera than with one fussy old woman with a digestion. They eat hot bread and fried steak, and then they eat pepsin." "Start a cooking crusade," Phebe suggested lazily. "Well, I'll go." "Thank you. You need the ride anyway; it will do you good, for you have been working too hard lately. I don't want my apprentice to wear herself out."
"Oh yes," he replied, not looking up from the tests he was making. "Well, keratin, you know, is also called epidermose. It is a scleroprotein present largely in cuticular structures such as hair, nails, horn. I believe it is usually prepared from pieces of horn steeped in pepsin, hydrochloric acid, and water for a long time. Then the residue is dissolved in ammonia and acetic acid."
Queen of the night behind, and of the gods around, and of the city below here, if at all, you think, may one find the answer to the riddle. Her ostensible message, burning in the firmament beside her, is that we should buy pepsin chewing-gum. But there is more, not to be given in words, ineffable. Suddenly, when she has surveyed mankind, she closes her left eye.
A decade later Sprott and Boyd detected the existence of peculiar glands in the gastric mucous membrane; and Cagniard la Tour and Schwann independently discovered that the really active principle of the gastric juice is a substance which was named pepsin, and which was shown by Schwann to be active in the presence of hydrochloric acid.
