THE TRUE DIGESTIVE FLUID,

GA GsERI0 JUg0 sSa
A Great Dyspepsia eurer, Prepared from
RENNET, or the fourth Stomach of the Ok,
after directions of Baron Liebig, the great
Physiological Chemist, by j. S. Houghton,
M. d., No,l1, North Eighth Street, Phila-
delphia, Pa.
This is truly wonderful remedy for Indi
ges,ion, Dyspepsia, Jaudice, Liver Com
plant, 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, Fire Pounds
! Of Roast Beef in about fsco 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 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 ntenstines.
| Without il there will be no dlgestion,- no
conversion Of food into blood, and no nu-
triton of the body; but rather n 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 disease dis
res S and debility which az sss.
| PEPsIX AND RENNET.-Pepsin is the chic
element. or great Diges,ing Principle Of the
Gastric Juice. 1t is found in great abuu-

ach after de ilh, and sometimes causes the

farmers in making cheese, called Kennel,

Liebig states that, Zone part OF Pepsin dis
solved in sixty thousand parts Of water, wiz

rmembrane Of the stomach Of the Calf,
which various articles of food, as meat and
eggs will be soltened, changed, and diges-
ted, just in the same manner as they would
be in the human stomach"
DIR. 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.
DIR Combe, in his valuable writings on
The physiology of Digestion," observe

ailing cause of Dyspepsia )" and he state,
that ia distinguished professor of medicine
in London, who was severely afflicted vi b.
this complaint finding every thing else to
fail had recourse to 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: 'it is remar-
kable fact in physiology, that the stomachs
of animals, maceraied in water, impart To-
the fluid The properly Of dissolving various
articles of food, and of elfecting a kind of
artificial digestion of them in no wise diff
ferent from the natural digestive process"

of Man, (Iea & Blanchard, Phila., 1916,
m. 32l.2): "The discovery of PEPSIN
