after Nature's own melted, by Natures
own agent, the Gastric Juice.

DIGESTION.
Digestion is chiefly performed in the stom.
ach by the aid of fluid which fr' ely 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 Food, the Pu-
rifying, Preserving and Stimulating Agent Of
the stomach and intestines. Without it there
will be no digestion-no conversion of food
into blood, and no nutrition Of the body; but
rather foul, torpid painful, and destructive
condition Of the whole digestive apparatus -
A weak, half dead or injured stomach produ
ces no good Gastric Juice, and hence the dis
ease, distress and debility which ensue.
PEPSIN AND RENNET.
Pepsin is the chief element or great diges
ting principle OF the Gastric Juice. It is
found in great abundance in the solid parti
of the human stomach after death, and some.
times causes the stomach to digest itself, ol
eat itself up. 1t is also found in the stomach
of animals, as the OK. calf. &c. 1t is the ma

called Rennet, the effect of which has long
been the special wonder of the dairy. The

tion. Rennet possesesses astonishing pow
er. The stomach of a calf will curde nearly
one thousand times its own weight o. milk
Baron Liebg states that Zone part OF Pepsin
will digest meat aud other food" Diseased
Rennet or Pepsn. To show that this wan

SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE.
Baron Liebig, in his celebrated work OF
Animal Chemistry, Gays: IAN ArtifcIa
Digestive Fluid may be readily prepared from
the mucous membrane of the stomach of til,
calf. in which various articles OF food, a,
meat and eggs. will be softencd, changed
and digested, just in the same manner q!
they would be in the human stomach"
DR.. Pereira in his famous treause on "Foot
and Diet" published bv Wilson g. Co., New
York, page 35. states the same great fact, ant
describes the method of preparation. There
are few higher authorities than DR.. Pereira
DR.. John w. Draper, Professor Of Chemis
try in the Med cal College of the University
of New York. in his "Text Book OF Chemis
uy," page 1856. says, ''it has been question
VIII ether artificial digestion could be per
formed-but it is now universally admitted
that it may be-"
Professor Dungison OF Philadelphia, in hil
great work on Human Physiology, devote,
more than fifty pages to an examination o.
this subject. His experiments with DR.
| Beaumont, on the Gastric Juice. obtained
from the living human stomach and from an
| imals, are well known "In all cases." ht
saws, "digestion occurred as perfectly in th'
artificial as in the natural digestions."
Asa Dyspepsia Curer, Dr. Houghton's pre-
paration of Pepsin has produced the;mos
marvellous effects, curing cases of Debility
Emaciation. Nervous Decline and Dyspepti
Consumption, supposed to be on The yer
verge OF the grave. 1t is impossible TO Civ
the details os cases in the limits of this ad
vertisement-but authenticated certificate
have been given of more than 200 remark
able cures in Philadelphia, New York ant
Boston alone. These were nearly all des
perate cases, and the cures were nor onl
rapid and wonderful but permanent.
It is great Nervous Antidote, and from
