A Great Dyspepsia curer, Prepared from
RENNEr, or the fourth Stomach of the Ok,
after directions of Baron Liebig, the great
Physiological Chemist, by j. S. Hough,on,
M. d. No.1l, North Eighth Street, Pbila-
delphia, Pa.
This is a truly wonderful remedy for Indi-
gestion, Dyspepsia, Jaudice, Liver Com
plant, Constipation, and Debility; Curing
after Natures own method, BY Natures own
agent, the Gastric Juice.
I V Half a spoonful of this Fluid, infused
in water, will digest or dissolve, Fiue Pounds
Of Roast Beef in about tro 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 oil 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 it there viii 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, halt
dead, or injured stomach produces no good
Gastric Juice, and hence The disease, dis
Tres and debility which ensue.
PErsIN AND RENNET.-Pepsin is the chief
element. or great Digesting Principle Of the
Gastric Juice. 1t is found in great abun-
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
tho az oo1f Elo II ia tho f1atprIal t,ep1 hyr
farmers in makirg 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 n calf will curdle nearly one thou
sand times its w 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 LIEBIc, in Lis celebrated work on
Animal Chemistry, says: Gan Artificial Di-
gesiive Fluid analogous to the Gastric Juice,
may be readily prepared from the mucous
membrane of the stomach Of the Calf, in
which various articles of food, as meat and
eggs will be softened, 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 s.
Wells, New York, page 80. states the same
great fact, and describes the method of prep
%aration. There are few higher authorities
than DR.. Pereira.
DIR Combe, in his valuable writings on
the physiology of Digestion" observes
that ia diminuiion of the due quantity of
The Gastric Juice is a prominent and all.pre-
vailing cause of Dyspepsia - and he states
that ia 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 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 effecting a kind of
artificial digestion of them in no wise DIFF
ferent from the natural digestive process"
DR.. Simon's great work, the "Chemistry
of Man." (Lea s. Blanchard, Phila., 1886,
PIP. 321-2): oThe discovery of PEPSIN
70 ms a new era in the chemical history of
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, n'his great work on Hut
man Physiology, devotes more than fifty
pages to IN examination OF this subject.
His experiments with DR.. Beaumont, on the
Gastric Juice, obtained from the living ha-
man stomach and from animals are well
known. .t'In all cases." he says, "digestion
occurred as perfectly in the artificial as the
natural digestions." =.
