A TRULY wonderful remedy for indigestion,
N Dyspepsia, Jaundiee. Lirer Complaint,
Constipation and Debility, curing after Natures
own process, by Natures own agent, the Gastric
Juice. uJIIalf teaspoonfu of this fluid Infused
in a,er, can digest or dissolve Five Pounds OF
roast beef in about two hours, out OF the stomach
Digestion is chiefly performed in the stom-
ach by the aid of fluid which freely exudes from
the inner coat Of that organ, when in state OF
healh, called the gastric juice. This fluid is the
great soirent Of the Jood-,he purifying, Preser-
wing and stimulating agent of the stomach and
in,estines. Without it there can be no digestion,
no conversion of food into blood, no nutrition
but rather foul, torpid, painful and destructive
condition OF the whole digestive apparatus.
PepSin is the chief element great digest
ing principle Of the gastric Juice. 1t is found In
great abundance in the solid parts Of the human
stomach after death, and sometimes causes the
stomach to digest eat itself up. Ii is also found

SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE!
Baron LIEBIG, in his celebrated work on Animal Che
mistry says: San artificial digestive fluid analogous to
the Gsstrc Juice be readily from the mucou
membrane of the stomach of the calf in which various
articles food, meat and eggs will be softened and
digested in the manner in the human stomach
