one thousand times its own weight OF milk.
Baron Liebig states that "One part OF Pepsin
dissolved in sixty thousand paris Of water,
will digest meat and other food,n Diseased
stomacks produce no good Gastric Juice,
Rennet or Pepsin. To show that this want
may be perfectly supplied we quote the fol-

SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE.
Baron Liebig, in his celebrated work on
Animal Chemistry, Gays: "An Artificial
Digestive Fluid may be readily prepared from
the mucous membrane OF the stomach Of the
calf, in which various articles of food, az
meat and eggs, will be softencd, changed
and digested, just in the same manner a.
| they would be in the human stomach.n
DR.. Pereira in his famous treatise on "Food
and Diet,n published by Wilson & Co., New
York, page IS, states the same great fact, and
describes the method Of preparation. There
are few higher authorities than DR.. Pereira.

of New York, in his "Text Book Of Chemis-
try, !" page 1856. says, s'ii has been question
whether artificial digestion could be per-

that it may be-"

great work on Human Physiology. dovotes
more than fifty pages to an examination OF
this subject. His experiments with DR..
Beaumont, on the Gastric Juice, obtained
from the living human stomach and from an
imals, are well known. ssIn all cases.n he
suys, "digsstion occurred as perfectly in the
artificial as in the natural digestions.n
AS a Dyspepsia Curer, DR.. Houghton's pre-
paration of Pepsin has produced the most
marvellous effects, curing cases Of Debility,
Emaciation, Nervous Decline and Dyspeptic
Consumption, supposed to be on the very
verge Of the grave. 1t is impossible to give
the details OF cases in the limits of this id.
vertisement-but authenticated certificates
have been given Of more than 200 remark
able cures in Philadelphia, New York and
Boston alone. These were nearly all des-
Iperate cases, and the cures were mot only
rapid and wonderful but permanent.
1t is great Nervous Antdote, and from
the astonishingly small quantity necessary to
produce healthy digestion is believed to ae.
