This is truly wonderful remedy for In
digestion, Dyspepsia, Jaundice, Liver
Complaint, Constipation, and Debility,
= Curing after Nature's own method, by
Natures own agent, the Gastric Juice.
05- Halfa teaspoonful Of this Fluid, in
fused in water, will digest or dissolve,

DIGESTION. 2s
Digestion is chiefly performed in the
stomach by the aid of fluid which free
ly exudes from the inner coat OF that or
gan, when in state Of health, called the
Gastric Juice. This fluid is the Great
Solvent Of the Food, the Purifying, Pre-
serving, and Stimulating Agent Of the
stomach and intesiines. Without Il there
will be no digestion,-po conversion Of
God into blood, and no nutrition Of the
body; but rather foul, torpid painful, and
destructive condition of the whole digest
i've apparatus. A weak, half dead, or
injured stomach produces no good Gas
trio Juice, and hence the disease, distress
and debility which ensue.
PEPSIN AND RENNET.
Pepsin is the chief clement, or great
digesting principle of the Gastric Juice.
Ii is found in great abundance in the SOL
id paris the human stomach after death,
and sometimes causes the stomach TO di.
gest itself, or cat itself up. 1t is also
found in the stomach Of animals, as the
OK, calf, &c. 1t is the material used by
farmers in making cheese, called Kennel,
the effect Of which has long been the
special wonder of the dairy. Tho curd-
ling Of milk is the first process Of digest
ion. Rennet possesses astonishing pow
er. The stomach of calf will curdle
nearly one thousand times its own weigh,
of milk, Baron Liebig states that, "One
part of Pepsin dissolved IN sixty thous-
and parts Of water, will digest Teat and
other food.' Diseased stomachs produce
no good Gastric JUICE, Rennet or Pepsin.
To show that this want may by perfectly
supplied, we quote the following:
SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE.
Baron Liebig, in his celebrated work
on Animal Chemistry, says: "An Arti-
fetal Digestive Fluid may be readily pre-
pared from the mucous membrane Of the
stomach of the calf, in which various ar,i-
cles or food, as meat and eggs, will be
solisned, changed, and digested, just in
The same manner as they would be in the
human stomach"
DR.. Pereira, in his famous treatise on
"Food and Diet" published by Wilson g.
Co., New York, page 35, states the same
great fact, and describes the method Of
preparat on. There few higher authori-
ties than Dr.. Pereira.
Dr.. John W. Draper, Professor Of
Chemistry in the Medical College ofthe
University of New York, in his "Text
Book of Chemistry" page 1856, says, "it
has been question whether artificial d.
gesiion could be performed--bu, it is
now universally admitted that it may
be-"

all cases." she says "digestion occurred
as perfectly in the artificial as in the ma
tural digestions."
AS a Dyspepsia Curer, DR.. lIoughton's
preparation of Pepsin has produced the
most marvellous effects, curing cases Of

and Dyspeptic Consumption, supposed 10
