THE TRUE DIGESTIVE FLUID,
A@gMIW yUI0Ba

AS1@G@ JU19Ba
A Great Dyspepsia curer, Prepared from
RENNET, or the fourth Stomach Of the Ok,
after directions of Baron Liebig, the great
Physiological Chemist, by J. S. Houghton,
M. d., No.ii, North Eighth Street, Phlia
delphia, Pa.
This is atruly wonderful remedy for Indi
gesIion, Dyspepsia, Jaudice, Liver Com
plant, Constipation, and Debility, Curing
after Natures own method, by Natures own
agent, the Gastric Juice. /.
tB1 Half a spoonful of this Fluid, Infused
in water, will digest or dissolve, FiUe Pounds
Of Roast Beef in about two 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
Fool, the Purifying, Preserving, and Siimula-
ting Agent of the stomach and intcnstines.
Without it there will be no digestion,-no
conversion of food into blood, and no nu-
triton Of the body; but rather q 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 cine
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 nth, and sometimes causes the
| stomach 10 digest itself, or eat ITSELF up. 1t
is also found in the stomach of animals, as
the OK, calf, &c. il is the material used by
farmers in making cheese, called Rennet,
the effect of which has long been the spe-
cial wonder of the dairy. The curdliuS oil
milk is the first process OF digestion. Ren-
| net possesses astonishing power. The stom-
ach of a calf will crrdle nearly one thou
sand times its weight OF milk. BaIo
Liebig states that, Zone 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 on
nimal Chemistry, sa VS.: San Artificial Di-
es,iye Fluid analago us 10 the Gastric Juice,
NAV be readily prepared from the mucous
gmembrane Of the stomach Of the Calf,
which various articles of food, as meat and
eggs. will be softened, changed, and dlges-
ted, lust in the same manner as they would
be in the human stomach"
DIR. Pereira. in his famous treatise on
aFood and Diet,n published by Fowlers &
Wells, New York, page 35. states the same
great fact, and describes the method OF prep
a%ration. There are few higher authorities
than DIR. Pereira.
DR. Combe, in his valuable writings on
he "Physiology of Digestion" observe
that "a diminuiion of the due quantity o
the Gastric Juice is a prominent and all.pre-
failing cause of Dyspepsia )" and he state,
that "a distinguished professor of medicine
in London, who was severely afflicted W h
this complaint. finding every thing else 10
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 "it is a remar-
kable fact in physiology, that the stomachs
of animals, macerated in water, impart to
the fluid the property of dissolving various
articles of food, and of e%flecting 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 s. Blanchard, Phila.. 1916,
PIP. 32i-2): "The discovery of PEPSIN

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.

Professor Dunglison of the Jefferson Col
lege, Philadelphia, in his great work on HUI
man Physiology, devotes more than fifty
- oyo;,,on Of tht, .,l:a1s
His experiments with DR.. Beaumont, on the
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 Persin has produced the
most marvellous effects, curing cases of De-
bility, Emacialion, 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 adveriisement-but authenticate
certificates have been of more than tpo hun
dred 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.
II is a 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
ness. Also, for excess in eating, and the
too free use of ardent spirits. 1t almost rec
onciles Health with lntemperance.
OLD STOMACH CoMpLAINTs.-There is no
form of Old Stomach Complaints which it
does moi seem 10 reach and remove at once.
No matter how bad they may be, il gives
msient Relief! A single dose removes all
the unpleasant symptoms, and it only needs
10 be repeated, for a short time, 10 make
these good effects permanent. Purify of
Blood and Vigor of Body, follow at once. 1t
is particularly excellent in cases of Nausea
Vomiting, Cramps, Soreness of the pit of
the Stomach, distress after eating, low, cold
state OF the Blood, HeaviLess, Lowr ess of
Spirits, Dependency, Emanciation, Weak
ess, tendency to Insanity Suicide, &c.
