This is a truly wonderful remedy for Jndi

plaint, Constipation, and Debility; Curing
after Natures own method, by Natures own
agent, the Gastric Juice.

in water, will digest or dissolve, Fipe Pounds

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 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 and destructive condition OF the
whole digestive apparatus. A weak, hall
dead, or injured stomach produces no good
Gastric Juice, and hence the diseasa dis
res and debility which eIsrs.
PEPsIN AND RENNET.-Pepsin is the chic
element. or great Digesting Principle OF the
Gastric Juice. 1t is found in great abnn-
dance In the solid parts of the human stom-
ach after de lth, and sometimes causes the
stomach 10 digest itself, or eat itself up. 1t
is also found in the stomach OF animals, as

cial wonder of the dairy. The curdliug Of
milk is the first process of digestion. Rem

SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE!
BARON LIEBIe, in Lis celebrated work on
nimal Chemistry, sa vs. "AD Artificial Di-
es,ive Fluid analago us to the Gastric Juice,
may be readily prepared from the mucous
| gmembrane Of the stomach Of the Calf,
which various articles of food, as meat and
eggs. will be softened, changed, and diges-
| ted, lust in the sauue muuucr 10 they would
be in the human stomach"
DR.. Pereira in his famous treatise on
ssFood and Det,n published by Fowlers &
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" observe
hat ia diminulion of the due quantity

ailing cause of Dyspepsia" and he state,
that ia distinguished professor of medicine

this complaint finding every thing else 10
/ 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 work
on ssVegetable Diet" says: "it is a remar-
kable fact in physiology, that the stomachs
of animals, macerated in water, impart to
the fluid the property of dissolving various
articles of food, and of effecting a kind of
artificial digestion of them in no wise DIFF
ferent from the natural digestive processn

of Man, (Lea g. Blanchard, Phila.. 1916.
pp. 32I.2): ''The discovery of PEPSIN

Professor Dunglison of the Jefferson COL
lege, Philadelphia, in his great work on HUI
man Physiology, devotes more than fifty
pages to an examination OF this subject.
! His experiments with DR.. Beaumont, on the
Gastric Juice, obtained from the living ht-
man stomach and from animals are well
knowE "In all cases." he says, sdigestion
occurred as perfectly in the artificial as the
natural digestions."
As a DYSPEPSIA CURER, DrHoughton,s
preparation of Pepsin has produced the
most marvellous effects, curing cases of De-
bility, Emaciation, Nervous Decline, and
dispeptic Consumption, supposed to be on
the very verge of the grave. 1t is imposs-
