THE TRUE DIGESTIVE FLUID,
Ga GIMIG U S.

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. Houghton,
nj. D., No.l1, North Eighth Street, Phila.
delphia, Pa.
This is a truly wonderful remedy for Ind
gestion, Dyspepsia, Jaudice, Liver Com
plant, Constipation, and Debility, Curing
after Natures own method, BY Natures own
agent, the Gastric Juice.
G Half a spoonful of thisF Fluid, infused
in water, will digest or dissolve, Fire Pounds
Of Roast Beef in about tro hours, out OF the
stomach.
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 Slimula-
! ting Agent of the stomach and intcnstines.
Without il there will be no digestion,-no
conversion of food into blood, and no nu-
triton of the body but rather a 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 disease, dis
res and debility which ensue.
PEPsIN AND RENNET.-Pepsin is the chic
element. or great Digesting Principle of the
Gastric Juice. Ii is found in great album
dance III the solid parts of the human stom-
ach after de llh, and sometimes causes The
stomach 10 digest itself, or eat itself up. 1t
is also found in the stomach of animals, as
The OK, cali, sc. It's the material used by
farmers in making cheese, called Rennet,
the effect of which has long been the spe-
cal wonder of the dairy. The curdliug OF
milk is the first process OF digestion. Rem
net possesses astonishing power. The stom-
ach Of a calf will cIrdle rearly one thou
sand times lis W weight Ct milk. Faro
Iiebig states that, 'One part of Pepsin dis
solved in sixty thousand parts Of water, vii
digest meat and other food" Diseased
stomachs produce no good Gastric Juice
Rennet or Pepsin. To show That this want
may be perfectly supplied, We quote the
following
SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE!
BARON LIEBIG, in Lis celebrated work OF
nimal Chemistry, sa Us; Gan Artificial Di-
esiive Fluid analago lis TO the Gastric Juice,
may be readily prepared from the mucous
gmembrane OF the stomach OF the Cali,
which various articles of food, as meat and
eggs. will be soflcned, changed, and diges-
It'd, Justin the same manner as they would
be in the human stomach"
DIR. Pereira. in his famous treatise on
''Food and Diet" published by Fowlers s.
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.
DIR Combe, in his valuable writings on
he physiology Of Digestion" observe
that ia diminuiion of the due quantity o
the Gastric Juice is a prominent and all pre-
failing cause of Dyspepsia" and he state,
that ia distinguished professor OF medicine
in London, who was severely afflicted W h
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 vegetable Diet. says: cit is a remar-
kable fact in physiology, that the stomuchs
of animals, maceraied in water, impart TO
the fluid the properly of dissolving various
articles of food, and of e%ffecting a kind of
| artificial digestion of them in no wise diff
ferent from the natural digestive process"
DIR. Simon's great work, the "Chemistry
of Man, (Lea g. Blanchard, Phila, 1916,
DID. 32l.2): "The discovery of PEPSIN
10 ms a new era in the chemical history of
Di gestion. From recent experiments we
KIN ow that food is dissolved as rapidly in an
artificial digestive fluid, prepared from Pep.
sin, as it is in the natural Gastric Juice it.
SELL"
Professor Dunglison of the Jefferson Col
lege, Philadelphia, in his great work on HUI
man Physiology, devotes more than fifty
His experiments with Dr.. Beaumont, on the
Gastric Juice, obtained from the living hL-
man stomach and from animals are well
known. 'In all cases." he says, ''digestion
occurred as perfectly in the artificial as the
natural digestions."
AS a DYSPEPSIA CURER, DR. Houghton'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.
BILE 10 give the details of cases in the limit
of this advertisement-but authenticate
certificates have been of more than tuo hun.
bred Remarkable Cures, in Philadelphia, New
York, and Boston alone. These were
nearly all desperate cases, and the cures
were not only rapid and wonderful, but per-
manent.
1t is u great Nervous Antidote. and par
ticularly useful for tendency to bilious dis
order, Liver Complaint, Fever and Ague, or
badly treated Fever and Ague, and the ev-
il effects of Quinine, Mercury, and other drug
upon the Digestive organs, after a long sick
