RENNET, or the fourth Stomach of the Ok,
after directions of Baron Liebig, the great
Physiological Chemist, by ]. S. Houghton,
M. d., Noll, North Eighth Street, Phila-
delphia, Pa.
This is truly wonderful remedy for lndi-
gestion, Dyspepsia, Jaudice, Liver Com
plant, Constipation, and Debility, Curing
after Natures own method, by Natures own
agent, the Gastric Juice.

in water, will digest or dissolve, Fus 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 state OF health called the Gastric
Juice. This fluid is the Great solvent of the
Food, the Purifying, Preserving, and Slimula.
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.
painful, aud 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 chief
element. or great Digesting Principle Of the
Gastric Juice. 1t is found in great album
dance Ill the solid parts of the human stom-
ach after de Nth, 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 Rennet,
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 lis own weight of milk. Baron
I.iebig 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, Wa quote the
following
SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE
BARON LIEBIe, in Lis celebrated work on
Animal Chemistry, says: "An 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 soilened, changed, and diees.
be in the human stomach"
DR.. Pereira, in his famous treatise on
"Food and Diet" published by Fowlers 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.
DR. Combe, in his valuable writings on
the "Physiology of Digestion" observes
that ga dminution of the due quantity of
the Gastric Juice is prominent aud all pre-
vailing cause of Dyspepsiaj" and he states
that ga 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"
DIR. Graham, author of the famous works
on "Vegetable Diet" says: ''it is a remar-
kable fact in physiology, that the stomachs
of animals, macerated in water, impart 10
the fluid the properly of dissolving various
articles of food, and of efIecting kind OF
artificial digestion of them in no wise diff.
ferent from the natural digestive process"
DR.. Simon's great work, the "Chemistry
of Man," (Lea & Blanchard, Phila.. 1916,
PIP. 321.2): "The discovery of PEPSIN
70 ms new era in the chemical history Of
Di gestion. From recent experiments we
KIN ow that food is dissolved as rapidly in an
artificial digestive fluid, prepared from Pep.
SIM as it is in the natural Gastric Juice it
self"
Professor Dunglison of the Je fIerson Col
lege, Philadelphia, in his great work on Hu.
man Physiology, devotes more than fifty
pages TO an examination of this subject.
His experiments with DIR. Beaumont, on the
Gastric Juice, obtained from the living hL.
man stomach and from animals are well
known. SIN all cases." he says, "dgestion
occurred as perfectly in the artificial as the
natural digestions."
As DYSPEPSIA CuRER, DR. Houghton's
preparation of Pepsin has produced the
most marvellous effects, curing cases of De-
bility, Emaciaton, Nervous Decline, and
dispeptic Consumption, supposed to be on
the very verge OF the grave. II is imposs.
