This is truly wonderful remedy for 1ndi

after Natures own method, BY Natures own
agent the Gastric Juice.

IN water, will digest OF dissolve, Fire Pounds

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
Jaee. This fiuid is the Great solvent of the
Food, the Purifying, Preserving, and Slimula-
ting Agent Of the stomach and intenstines.
Whhout il there will be no dIgeslion,-no
conversion Of food into blood and no nu-
triton OF ihe body; but rather foal, torpid
painful, and destructive condition of ths
whole digestive apparatus A weak, halls
deady or injured stomach produces no good
Gastric Juice, and hence the "i~aase dis
res and debility which ety-s.
PEPsis AND DRENEET.-Pepsin is the chic
element. or great Digesting Principle Of the
Gastric Juice. Il is found in great abnav~
dance IN the solid parts of the human stom-
ach after de iih, and sometimes causes tho
stomach 30 digest itself, or eat itself up. Ii
is also found in the stomach of animals, as
the OK, calf, sc. lis the material used by
farmers in makirg cheese, called Renncl,
the eGee, 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 lis own weight Of milk. Baro
Lebig states that, 'One part of Pepsin dis
solved in SIXTY thousand parts Of water, viii
digest meat and other food" Diseased
stomachs produce 10 good Gastric Juica
Rennet or Pepsin. To Show that this want
may be perfectly supplied, We quote tho
following
SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE!
BARON LrEBIG, in Lis celebrated work on
nimal Chemistry, sa Us: An Artificial Di-
esiive Fluid analago us 10 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 soitcned, changed; and diges-
t'd, 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 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 "Physiolosy of Digestion" observe
that "a diminulion Of the due quantity of
the Gastric Juice is a prominent and all-pre-
vailing cause of Dyspepsia" and he state,
that IA distinguished professor OF medicine
in London, who was severely afflicted wi
this complaint. finding every thing else to
fail, had recourse 10 the Gastric Juice, ob
tanned from the stomach of living animals
which proved completely successful"
DR.. Graham, author of the famous work
on "Vegetable Diet" says: cit is remar-
kable fact in physiology, that the stomachs
of animals, macerated in water, impart 10
the fluid the properly Of dssolving various
articles of food, and of effecting 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 g. Blanchard, Phla., 1916,
PIP. 3212): "The discovery of PEPSIN
10 ms a new era i'll 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 ii is in the natural Gastric Juice It.

Professor Dunglison Of the Jefferson Col.
lege, Philadelphia, in his great work on HUI.
man Physiology, devotes more than fifty
pages TO an examination OF this subject
His experiments with DR. Beaumont, OIL the
Gastric Juice, obtained from the living hL-
man stomach and from animals are well
known. "In all cases." he says, "digestiou
occurred as perfectly in the artificial as the
natural digestions."
As DYSPEPSIA CURER, DR. Houahton,s

most marvellous effects, curing cases of De-
bility, Emacialion, Nervous Decline, and
dispeptic Consumption, supposed to be on
the very verge OF the grave. 1t is imposs.
