This is truly wonderful remedy for lndi-
gestion, Dyspepsia, Jaudice, Liver Com

after Natures own method, by Natures own
agent, the Gastric Juice.

DIGESTION.
Digestion is Chiefly performed in the
stomach by the aid of a fluid which freely
exudes from the inner coat of that organ,
when in a state OF health, called the Gastric
Juice. This fluid is the Great solvent of the
Food, the Purifying, Preserving, and Stimula-
ting Agent of the stomach and intcnstnes.
Without il there will be no DIGESTION
conversion of food into blood and no nu-
triton of the body; but rather foul, torpid,
painful, and destructive conditi5s Of the
whole digestive apparatus. A weak, half
dead, or injured stomach produces no good
Gastric Juice, and hence the disease, dis
iress and debility which ensue.
PEPsIN AND RENNET.-Pepsin is the chief
element. or great Digesting Principle of the
Gastric Juice. 1t is found in great abun-
dance IN the solid parts of the human stom.
| ach after de ith, and sometimes causes the
stomach 10 digest itself, or eat itself up. 1t
is also found in the stomach of animals, as
the OK, calf, SC. II is the material used by
| farmers in making cheese, called Kennel,
the effect of which has long been the spe-
cial-wonder of the dairy. The curdliug OF
milk is the first process of digestion. Rem
net possesses astonishing power The stom-
ach of calf will curdle nearly one thou
sand times lis own weight of milk. Baron
Liebig states that, 'One part of Pepsin DIS
solved in sixty thousand parts Of water, will
digest meat and other food" Diseased
stomachs produce DO good Gastric Juice

may be perfectly supplied, we quote the

SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE
BARON LIEBIG, in Lis celebrated work on
Animal Chemistry, says: "An Artificial Di-
gesive Fluid analogous to the Gastric Juice,
may be readily prepared from the mucous
membrane of the stomach of the Calf in
which various articles of food, as meat and
eggs will be soltened, changed, and diges-
ted, just in the same manner as they would
be in the human stomachn
DIR. Pereira, in his famous treatise on
'sFood and Diet" published by Fowlers &
Wells, New York, page 35 states the same
| great fact, and describes the method of prep
aration. There are few higher authorizes
than DR.. Pereira.
DR. Combe, in his valuable writings on
the physiology of Digestion" observes
that "a diminution of the due quantity of
the Gastric Juice is a prominent and all pre-
yailing cause of Dyspepsia" and he states
that "a distinguished professor of medicine
in London, who was severely afflicted with
this complaint. finding every thing else to
fail, had recourse 10 the Gastric Juice, OBJ
tanned from the stomach of living animals,
which proved completely successful"
DR. Graham, author OF the famous works
on vegetable Diet" says: Kit is remar-
kable fact in physiology, that the stomachs
of animals, macerated in water, inlpart to
the fluid the properly of dissolving various
articles of food, and of efecting a kind of
artificial digestion of them in no wise diff
terent from the natural digestive process.n
DR.. Simon's great work, the "Chemistry
of Man," (Lea g. Blanchard, Phila.. 1876.
PIP. 321.2): "The discovery of PEPSIN
