| DIGESTION.
nIGES7TON is chiefly performed in the stom-
IL ach by the aid OF fluid which freely exndes
from the inner coat of that organ, when In state
! of health, called the Gastric Juee.-Ihs huld Is
| the great solvent of the food the Purifying, Pre-.
serving and Stimulating Agent of the stomach and
| intestines. Without it there would be no diges'
tion-no conversion OF food into blood, and no nu-
triton Of the body but rather foul, torpid, pam
full and destructive condition of the whole digestive
apparatus. A weak. half dead, or injured stomach
produces no good Gastric juice and hence the dis
| ease distress and debility which ensue.
PEPsIN AND RENNET.
Pepsin is the chief element, or great Digestng
| abundance in the solid parts of the human stomach
after DEATH and sometimes causes the stomach to
digest itself, eat itself up. 1t is also found In
the stomach of animals, the OK calf, sc. II is
the materials used by farmers in making cheese,
| called Rennet, the effect OF which has long been
the special wonder Of the dairy. The curdling OF
milk is the first process of digestion. Rennet pos
sesses astonishing power. The stomach OF a cali
/ will curdle nearly one thousand times its own
weight of milk. Baron Leibig states that, 'sOne
part Of Pepsn dissolved In sixty thousand paris o!
| water, will digest meat other food" Diseased
| stomachs produce no good Gastric Juice, Kennel
or Pepsn To show that this want may be per
fectly supplied, we quote the following:
SCIENTIFIC EyIDEnCEs
! BARON LEIBIG in his celebrated work on
| Animal Chemistry, says: can Artificial Digestive
Fluid analogous TO the Gastric Juice, may be
readily prepared from the mucus membrane OF the
stoIna ch Of the calf in which various articles OF
food, as meat and eggs will be softened, changed
and dgested Just in the same manner as they would
/ be in the human stomach
DIR. PEREIRA, in his famous treatise on Food
and Diet" published by Fowler X Wells N York.

the method OF preparation There are few higher
authorities than DR.. Perera.

| London, who very much afflicted with this
complaint, finding every thing else to fail, had re-
course to the Gastric Juice, obtained from the
stomach Of living animals, which proved complete

DR. GRAHAM, author of the famous works on
Vegetable Diet says that it is a remarkable fact in
physiology thatthe stomachs of animals nacerated IN
water mpart to the fluid the property OF dssolving
various articles Of food and Of ehecting kind OF
artificial digestion of them wise different from
the natural digestive properties.

new in tae ehemica history of digestion. From
recent experiments we know that food IS dissolved
as rapidly in an artificial digestive fluid, prepared
from Pepsir, as il is in the natural Gastric Juice
ITSELF
Professor Dunglison of the Jefferson College,
Philadelphia, in his great work on human Physio
ogy, devotes more than fifty pages to an examina-
| ton of this subject. His experiments with DR..
| Beaumont, on the Gastric Juice, obtained from
/ living human stomach and from animals are we'll
known. La all cases, he says, digestion occurred
as perfectly III the artificial as in the natural d.
gestion.
AS DYSPEPSIA CURER.
Dr.. Koughtons preparation Of Pepsin has pro-
duced the most marvellous effects, curing cases OF
Debility, Emaciation, Nervous Decline and Dys-
pepsic Consumption supposed TO be the very
verge of the grave. 1t is impossible to give the
details of cases in the limits of this advertisement
but authenticated certificates have been gisleh OF
more than two hundred remarkable cures in Phila-
delphia, Nav York and Boston alone. These were
