He fllustrat- cd ft by showing what a vast differcncothere was between the cheese of different natfonalitics.

That the older or more thorouchly cheese fa cured, the more rapld and complete isits di- gestion, * This was oncof the first things which struck their attention. 1t was found invariably that just in proportlon to the extent of the cur- ing was the fact of digestion cecomplished, and that cheesa fram thirty to elxty days old fell so far short in the completeucss of digestion us to ocearlon o gcrions loss in its value os food, 2.

That the less the natural actfon of the rennct in ripening the curd and curlng It Into cheese was allowed to be impeded by the presence of acld, the morc cuinpleto was the digeation, and the sooner was it accomplished, atl the greater was the food value of the cheese. ‘The deletertous effect of acid in the curing and digestion ran through all tha obsorvations, and bore an fmportant rela- ton to fts utllity as food. 4, That just in proportion to the complcte- ness of curing and dizestion was the fat acted on by the pepsin. Whero the checao was well curcd, and the digestion casy aud perfect, the fats in the cheese appearcd to bhe per- feetly digested, and to enter ns perfectly fnto the coustituency of the chyme as the cascine ftaclf, In other cases, o8 in the imper- fect digestion of skim cheese, the fat s not only not acted on, but Is not even rcparated from the clicesy matter at all.
