This is a truly wonderful remedy for Indigestion,
Dyspepsia, Jaandice, Lircr Complaint, Constipa
tion and Debility. Curing after Natures own
Method, by Natures own Agent, the Gastric

Dis est on.
DIGESTION is chiefly performed in the stomach by
the aid of fluid which freely exudes from the in
ner coat of that organ, when in ofheath cal

Stimulating agent of the stomach and intcstnes-

The stomach of n calf will curdlc nearly one

The Great Discovery!
The true Digestive fluid, GASTRIC JUICE,
be obtained from Natures orn source Of supply
the healthy stomach The pure digestive princi-
pie, PEPsIS may really be extracted from the
stomach of animals resembling man, thus forming
an artificial Digestive Fluid, precisely like the nat
ural Gastric Juice, in its chemical powers, and fur
nishing complete and perfect substitute for it.
By the aid of PErsIN, this artificial Digestive
Fluid, the pains and evils of INDIGESTION, DYsrEP

Scientific Evidence.
BARON LIEBIG, in his celebrated work An
imal Chemistry, says: IAN Artificial Digestive
Fluid analogous to the Gastric Juice, may be read
lily prepared from the mucous membrane of the
stomach of the Calf in which various articles of
food as meat and eggs, will be sotfenel, changed and
digestcd Just in The same they rouid 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 great fact, and dcs
cribcs the method of preparation. There few
higher authorities than DR.. Pcreira.
Dr. COMBE, in his valuable writings the
Physiology of Digestion" observes that "a dimi-
mutton of the due quantity of the Gastric Juice is
prominent and all-prevailing of Dyspepsia
and he states that ga distinguished professor Of
medicine in London, who severely afflicted
with this complaint, finding everything else to fail.

the stomach Of living animals, which prorcd COM

Dr. GRAHAM, author of the famous works on
Vegetable Dict" says; at is remarkable fact
in physiology that the stomachs Of animals, mace
rated in water, mpart to the fluid the property of
dissoving various articles of food, and cffecting
