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,

This is atruly wonderful remedy for Indi
gestion, Dyspepsia, Jaudice, Liver Com

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

in water, will digest or dissolve, Fiue Pounds

DIGESTION. .t
Digestion is Chiefly performed in the
stomach by the aid of a fluid which freely
exudes from the inner coat OF that organs
when in a 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 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, nan
dead, or injured stomach produces no good
Gastric Juice, and hence the disease, DIS
res and debility which ensue.
PEpsIN AND RENNET.-Pepsin is the che
element. or great piges,ing Principle bf the
Gastric Juice. Il is found in great abun-
I dance IN the sotd parts Of the hnman stom-
ach after de rh, and sometimes causes the
stomach 10 digest itself, or eat itself up. 1t
is also found in the stomach of animals, as
the OK, calf, &c. il is the material used by
farmers in making cheese, called Rennet,
the effect of which has long been the spe-
c,al wonder of the dairy. The curdliug OF
milk is the first process Of digestion. Rem
net possesses astonishing power. The siom-
ach of a calf will curdle nearly one thou
sand times lis own weight Of milk. BaIo
Liebig states that, 'One part Of Pepsin dis
solved in sixty thousand parts OF water, VII
