| A Great Dyspepsia curer, Prepared from
RENsEr, or the fourth Stomach of the Ok,
after directions of Baron Liebig, the great
Physiological Chemist, by ]. s. Houghton,
M. d., No.il, North Eighth Street, Phiia-
delphia, Pa.
This is truly wonderful remedy for Indi-
gesion, Dyspepsia, Jaudice, Liver Com
plaint Constipation, and Debility. curing
after Natures own method, by Natures own
agent, the Gastric Juice.
EY' Half a spoonful of this Fluid infused
in water, will digest or dissolve, FiUe Pounds
Of Roast Beef in about tico hours, out OF the
stomach.
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 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 intenstines.
Without il there will be no digestion, mo
conversion OF food into blood, and no nu-
triton of the body; but rather foul, torpid.
I painful, and destructive condition OF the
whole digestive apparatus. A weak, hall
dead, or injured stomach produces no good

Tres and debility which ensue.
| PEpsIN AND RESNZT-Pepsin is the chief
element. or great Digesting Principle OF the
Gastric Juice. II is found IN great abun-
dance III the solid parts of tho hi'maR siom-
ach after de nth, and sometimes causes Inc
stomach 10 digest itself, or eat itseii up. IL
is also found in the stomach of animals, rs
the OK, calf, &c. 1t the material used Ly
farmers in making cheese, called Renne',
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 a 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 aud other food" Diseased
stomachs produce 10 good Gastric Juice

following
SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE!
BARON LIEBIG, in Lis celebrated work on
Animal Chemistry, says Gan Artificial Di-
gesiive 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 soitoned, changed, and diges-
It'd, just in the same manHes 1s-they would
! be in The human stomach"
| DR.. Pereira. in his famous treatise on
'1Food and Diet" published by Fowers s.
| Wells, New York, page 35. states the same
great fact, and describes the method of prep
aration. There are few higher authorities
| than DR.. Pereira.
| DIR Combe, in his valuable writings on
| the "Physiology of Digestion observes
! that "a diminution of the due quantity of
the Gastric Juice is prominent and ali pre-
vailing cause of Dyspepsia ;" and he states
that ia 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

pages TO an examination of this subject.

most marvellous effects, curing cases of De- !
