A Great Dyspepsia curer, Prepared from
RENNET, or the fourth Stomach of the Ok,
after directions of Baron Liebig, the great
Physiological Chemist, by ]. S. Houghton,
M; D., No.ll, North Eighth Street, Phila-
delphia, Pa.
This is truly wonderful remedy for Indi-
ges,ion, Dyspepsia, Jaudice, Livef<1p

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

in water, will digest or dissolve, Fiuc Pounds

DIGESTION.
Digestion is Chiefly performed in the
stomach by the aid of fluid which freely
exudes from the inner coat of that organ,
when in a'state OF health, called the Gastric
Juice. This Auidiss6eG Great solvent of the
Food, the Purifying, Preserving, and Stimula-
ting Agent of the stomach and intenstines.
Without il there will be no digestion no
conversion of food into blood, and no nu-
triton of the body; but rather foul, torpid,
painful, and destructive condition of the
whole digestive apparatus. A weak, half
dead, or injured stomach produces no good
Gastric Juice, and hence the disease, dis
Tres and debility which ensue.
PEpsIN AND RENNET.-Pepsin is the chieI
element. ofgIeat Digesting Principle of the
Gastric Juioe.s at is found in great abun-
dance IN the solid parts of the human stom,
ach after deafh, and sometimes causes the
stomach ,odigest itself, or eat itself up. Il
is also fodnd in the stomach of animals, as
the OK, calf, sc. tits the material used by
farmers in making cheese, called Rennei
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'
ache calf will curdle nearly one thou
sand times its 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 no good Gastric Juice
Rennet or Pepsin. To show that this want
may be perfectly supplied, we quote the

SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE!
BARON LrEBIc, in Lis celebrated work on
Animal Chemistry, says: Gan Artificial Di-
gesiiye Fluid analogous to the Gastric Juice,
may be readily prepa red from. the mucous
membrane of the stomach of the Calf, in
which various articles of food, as meat and
eggs: will be soitened, changed, and diges.
ted, Just in the same manner as they would
be in the human stomach"
DR.. Pereira. in his fal nous treatise on
"Food and Diet" pubishe 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 Digeslio.p," observe:
that IA dminution of the due. quantity ol
the Gastric Juice is prominent and all-pre'
vailing 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 TO 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: s'it is reinar-
kable fact in physiology, that the ston,a,,hs
of animals, macerated in water, impart to
the fluid the properly of dissolving variop
articles of food, and of effecling kind OF
artificial digestion of them in no wise dit-
ferent from the natural digestive process.n
Dr. Simon's great work, the ''Chemistry
of Man," (Lea & Blanchard, Phila. 1916,
PIP. 32l.2): "The discovery of PEPSIN
forms new era i'll the chemical history of
Digestion. From recent experiments we
know that food is dissolved as rapidly in an
artificial digestive fluid, prepared from Pep
sin, as it is in the natural Gastric Juice it :.
