Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fairchild's Hand-Book of the Digestive Ferments: As Remedies, Per Se as Surgical Solvents and in the Peptonisation of Milk and Other Foods for the Sick, and for the Modification of Cow's Milk to the Standard of Human Milk The many and important uses of the Digestive Ferments described in this hand-book, afford striking evidence of the progress made in their development in recent years. The introduction of the Fairchild digestive preparations and processes marked an era in applied physiological chemistry. It was the practical beginning of our appreciation of the value of digestive ferments, of their scope and service in the nutrition of the sick. If, as it has been said by its founder, the art of medicine owes its existence to a recognition of the fact that food and regimen proper in health were unsuited to the sick, surely the art of medicine has made a great advance in learning to effect digestion by proxy; by borrowing from the lower animals the organic principles by which food may be converted into the soluble form requisite for the nutrition of the sick. The modern application of digestive ferments by the Fairchild process to the pre-digestion of food for the sick, may be considered as direct and scientific a development of the resources lying at our hands, as is the art of cookery itself, by which we seek to adapt food stuffs to the needs of mankind. In no direction has a digestive ferment been of more positive benefit than in the preparation of infant food. The use of a digestive ferment as the essential factor in the preparation of an artificial human milk, was first suggested by us and brought to a practical form in the Peptogenic Milk Powder.
