This is a truly wonderful remedy for Indi

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 Stimula-
ting Agent of the stomach and intenstines.
Without ii there win be no digestion,-no
conversion of food into blood, and no nu-
triton of The body but rather a foul, torpid,
painful, aud destructive condition Of the
whole digestive apparatus. A weak, half
dead, or injured stomach produces no good

PEpsIN AND RENNET.-Pepsin is tho chic
element. or great Digesting Principle Of the
Gastric Juice. II is found in great abun-
dance IN the solid parts of the human stom-
ach after de iih, and sometimes causes the
stomach 10 digest itself, or eat itself up. II
is also found in the stomach of animals, as
the OK, calf, &c. it 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 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 lis own weight Of milk. Baro
Liebig states that, 'One part of Pepsin dis

stomachs produce no good Gastric Juice

SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE!
BARON LIEBIo, in Lis celebrated work on
nimal Chemistry, sa VS.: San Artificial Di-
esiive Fluid analago US 10 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 soiiened, changed, and diges-
tod, Just in the same manner as they would
be in the human stomach"
DR.. Pereira. in his famous treatise on
aFood and Diet,p published by Fowlers &
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.
DR. Combe, in his valuable writings on
he physiology of Digestion observe
hat "a diminution of the due quantity o
he Gastric Juice is a prominent and all. pre-
ailing cause of Dyspepsia !" and he state,
that "a distinguished professor Of medicine
in London, who was severely afflicted viii

DR.. Graham, author of the famous work
on vegetable Diet" says cit is a remar-
kable fact in physiology, that the stomachs
of animals, macerated in water, impart 10
the fluid the properly of dissolving various
articles of food, and of effecting a kind of
artificial digestion of them in no wise diff
ferent from the natural digestive process"

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-
