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. Houghion,
M. D., No.1l, North Eighth Street. Phila-
delphia, Pa.
This is a truly wonderful remedy for Indi
geston, Dyspepsia, Jandice, Liver Conf
plaint Constipation, and Debility; Curing
after Natures own method, by Natures own
agent, the Gastric Juice.
EYi Half spoonful of this Fluid, infused
in water will digest or dissolve, Ere Pounds
of Roast Beef in about ttco hours, out Of the
stomach.
DIGESTION.
Digestion is Chiefly performed in the
stomach by the aid of fluid which freely
exudes from the inner coat OF that organ,
when in 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 intcnstines.
Without il there will be no digestion,-no
conversion of food into blood, and no nu-
triton of the body but rather foul, torpid,
painful, and destructive condition of the
whole digestive apparatus. weak, half
dead, or injured stomach produces no good
Gastric Juice, and hence the aisaasa dis
res S and debility which cIyLs.
PEpsIN AND RENNET.-Pepsin is the chic
element. or great Digesiing Principle Of the
Gastric Juice. II is found in great abun-
dance IN the solid parts of the human stom-
ach after de ith, and sometimes causes the
stomach 10 digest itself, or eat itself mp 1t
is also found in the stomach OF animals, as
the OK, calf, sc. tits 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 curdiiug OF
milk is the first process of digestion. Rem
net possesses astonishing power. The stom-
ach of calf will curdle nearly one thou
sand times its own weight of milk. Baro
Liebig states that, Zone part of Pepsin DIS
solved in sixty thousand parts Of water, will
digest meat and other foodn 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 LIEDro, in Lis celebrated work OH
nimal Chemistry, sa Us: "An Artificial Di-
esiive Fluid anaago us to the Gastric Juice,
may 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 diges-
ted, Just in the same manner as they would
be in the human stomach"
DR.. Pereira. in his famous treatise on
aFood and Dietn published by Fowlers g.
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
The "Physiology of Digestion" observe
hat "a dminution of the due quantity
he Gastric Juice is prominent and all.pre-
ailing cause of Dyspepsia )" and he state,
that "a distinguished professor of medicine
in London, who was severely afflicted vi b
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: Kit is 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.n
DIR. Simon's great work, the "Chemistry
of Man." Uea g. Blanchard, Phila.. 1916,
Do. 32l.2): "The discovery OF PEPSIN
10 ms new era in the chemical history of
Di gestion. From recent experiments we
kn 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,
SELF"
Professor Dunglison of the Jefferson Col.
lege, Philadelphia, in his great work on Hu.
man Physiology, devotes more than fifty
pages 10 an examination of this subject.
His experiments with DR.. Beaumont, on the
Gastric Juice, obtained from the living hL-
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 DYSPEPSIA CURER, DR. Houshton'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
:he very verge OF the grave. 1t is imposs-
