/ A Great Dyspepsia curer, Prepared from
RENNET, or the fourth Stomach of the Ok,
after directions of Baron Liebig, the great
Physiological Chemist, by ]. S. Houghion,
M. D., No.1l, North Eighth Street, Phila-
delphia, Pa.
This is truly wonderful remedy for Indi
gestion, Dyspepsia, Jaudice, Liver Com
plant, Constipation, and Debility, CLfiDg
after Natures own method, by Natures own
agent, the Gastric Juice.
~ Half spoonful of this Fluid, infused
in water, will diges, or dissolve, Five Pounds
of Roast Beef in about two hours out Of the
stomach.
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 oil health, called the Gastric
Juice. This fluid is the Great solvent of the
Food, the Purifying, Preserving, and Stimula.

Without il there will be no digestion,- no
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 ajseasa dis
ress and debility which etyLs.

farmers in making cheese, called Rennet,

es,ive Fluid analago us to the Gastric Juice,
may be readily prepared from the mucous

which various articles of food, as meat and
eggs, will be soitened, changed, and diges.

be in The human stomach"

"Food and Diet" published by Fowlers &
Wells, New York, page 35. states the same

than DR.. Pereira
DR. Combe, in his valuable writings on

aling cause of Dyspepsia" and he state,
that "a distinguished professor OF medicine
in London, who was severely afflicted WI
this complaint finding every thing else TO
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 syegetable Diet says: "it is remar-
kable fact in physiology, that the stomachs
of animals, macerated in water, impart 10
articles of food, and of effecting kind of
artificial digestion of them in ne wise DIFF
ferent from the natural digestive process"
DR.. Simon's great work, the "Chemistry
of Man, (Lea s. Blanchard, Phila., 1916,
