This Is a truly wonderful remedy for Indi-
g~es,ion, Dyspepsia, Jaudice, Liver Com
plant, Constipation, and Debility, Curing
after Natures own method, by Natures own
agent, the Gastric Juice.

in water, will digest or dissolve, Fiue Pounds

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
Foot, the Purifying, Preserving, and stimula-
ting Agent of the stomach and intenstines.
| Without il there will be no digestion, mo
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
tres S and debility which ensue.
PEpsIN AND RENNET-Pepsin is the chief
element. or great Digesting Principle Of The
Gastric Juice. 1t is found in great album
dance IN the solid parts of the human stom-
ach after de ilh, 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, &c. tits the material used by
farmers in making cheese, called Kennel,
the effect of which has long been the spe.
o,al 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 curdle nearly one thou
sand times its own weight of milk. Baron
L.iebig states thai, 'One part of Pepsin DIS
solved in sixty thousand parts Of water, will
digest meat and other food" Diseased
stomachs produce no good Gastric Juice
Renne, or Pepsin. To show that this want
may be perfectly supplied, we quote the
following
SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE!
BARON LIEBIG, in Lis celebrated work on
Animal Chemistry, says: Gan Artificial Di-
gesiive Fluid analogous 10 the Gastric Juice,
may be readily prepared from the mucous
membrane of the stomach Of the Cali, in
which various articles of food, as meat and
eggs. will be s~oftened, changed, and diges-
ted, Just in the same manner as they would
be in the human stomach"
DR.. Pereira. in his famous treatise on
Good and Diet,' published by Fowlers g.
Wells, New York, page 35. states the same
great fact, and describes the method of prep
a~ration. There are few higher authorizes
than DIR. Pereira.
DR. Combe, in his valuable writings on
the physiology of Digestion" observes
that "a diminution of the due quantity Of
! the Gastric Juice is a prominent and all pre-
| vailing cause of Dyspepsia" and he states
that "a distinguished professor of medicine
in London, who was severely afflicted with
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 works
on vegetable Die" says: 'itS a remar-
kable fact in physiology, that the stomachs
of animals, macerated in water, impart to
the fluid the properly of dissolving various
articles of food, and of effecting a kind of
a%rtiiciai digestion of them in no wise diff
ferent from the natural digestive process"
DR.. Simon's great work, the "Chemistry
of Man." (Lea g. Blanchard, Phila., 1886,
pp. 32l-2): "The discovery of PEPSIN

Di g~estion. From recent experiments we

artificial digestive fluid, prepared from Pep

Professor Dunglison of the Je fferson Col
lege, Philadelphia, in.his great work on Hn.
man Physiology, devotes more than fifty
pages TO an examination of this subject.
| His experiments with DR. Beaumont, on the
Gastric Juice, obtained from the living hL-
man stomach and from animals are well
known. ain 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, Emacia,ion, Nervous Decline, and
dispeptic Consumption, supposed to be on
the very verge OF the grave. 1t is imposs-
