DIR. PEREIRA, in his famous treatise on sFood

page 50, states the same great fact and describes
the method OF preparation There are few higher
authorities than Dr. Pereira.

new era in the chemical history Of digestion. From

AS A DYSPEPSIA CURER.
Dr. Houghton's preparation of Pepsin has pro.
dueed the most marvellous effects, curing cases of
Debility, Enacaton, Nervous Decline and Dys-
pePsic consumption, supposed to be on the very
verge OF the grave It is impossible to give the
details of cases in the limits Of this advertisement
but authenticated certificates have been given Of
more than two hundred remarkable cures in Phila-
delPila New York and Boston alone. These were
nearly all desperate cases, and the cures were not
only rapid and wonderful, but permanent.
