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.I1, North Eighth Street, Phila
delphia, Pa.
This is a truly wonderful remedy for Indi-
g%estion, Dyspepsia, Jaudice, Liver Com
plant, Constipation, . and Debility, Curing
after Natures own method, BY Natures own
agent, the Gastric Juice. .
EE Half a spoonful of this Fluid, infused
in water, will digest or dissolve, Flee 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
Food, the Purifying, Preserving, and Stimula-
ting Agent of the stomach and intenstines.
Without ii 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, half
dead, or injured stomach produces no good
Gastric Juice, and hence the disease, dis
Tres and debility which ensue.
PEpsIN AND REENET.-Pepsin is the chief
element. or great DiSesiing Principle of the
Gastric Juice. 1t is found in great album

ach after de nth, and sometimes causes he
stomach 10 digest itself, or eat itself up. 1t
is also found in the stomach of animals, as
the OK, calf, &c. III is the material used by
farmers in making cheese, called Rennet,
the effect of which has long been the spe-
clal 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
Liebig states that, Zone part of Pepsin DIS
solved in sixty thousand parts Of water, will
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 LIEBrG, in Lis celebrated work on
Animal Chemistry, says: Gan Artificial Di-
geslive Fluid analogous to 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 soitened, changed, and diges-
ted, Just in the same manner as they would
be in the human stomach"
DR.. Pereira. in his famous treatise on
''Food and Diet" published by Fowlers &
Wells, New York, page 80. states the same
great fact, and describes the method OF prep
aration. There are few higher authorizes
than DR.. Pereira.
=. L., x,1,al1a a,r;,iprc on
the "Physiology of Digestion" observes
that "a diminulion 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 Csc 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 works
!" vegetable Diet" says: "it is a remar-
kcyie fact in physiology, that the stomachs
of animals, macerated in water, impart 10
the fluid the property of dissolving various
| articles of food, and of efIecting a kind of
artificial digestion of them in no wise diff
ferent from the natural digestive process"

pp. 32I-2): "The discovery of PEPSIN

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-
