This is a truly wonderful remedy for Indi-
geston, Dyspepsia, Jaudiee, Liver Com
plant, Constipation, and Debility, Curing
after Natures own method, BY Natures WI
agent, the Gastric Juice. :,

in water, will digest or dissolve, Fire Pounds

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 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 intenstines.
Without it 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, half
dead, or injured stomach produces no good
Gastric Juice, and hence the disease, dis
tres S and debility which ensue.

element. or great Digesting Principle OF the

c,al 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 its own weight Of milk. Baron
Liebig states that, 'One part Of Pspsin DIS
solved in sixty thousand parts Of. water, will
digest meat and other food" Diseased
stomachs produce no good Gastric Juice

may be perfectly supplied, we quote the

SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE!
BARON LIEBIo, in Lis celebrated work on
Animal Chemistry, says: "Au Artificial Dr.
g~esiive Fluid analogous 10 the Gastric Juice,
may be readily prepared from the mucous
membrane of the stomach of the Cali, in
which various articles of food, as meat and
eggs. will be soflcned, changed, and .diges-
ted, 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 So states the same
great fact, and describes the method of prep.
%aration, Then are few higher authorities
than DR.. Pereifa.
DR. Combe, in his valuable writings on
the Physiology of Digestion" observes
that "a dlmi1ulion of the due quantity OF
the Gastric Juice is a prominent and all. pre-
ysiiing cause of Dyspepsia; )" and he states
that "a distinguished professor of medicine
in London, who was severely afflicted with
this complaint finding every thing. else to
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 works
on Vegetable Diet" says: "t is a 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 e~ffecting a kind of
artificial digestion of them in no wise diff
ferent from the natural digestive process"

of Man." (Lea & Blanchard, Phila., 1886,
PIP. 321-2): tThe discovery of PEPSIN

Professor Dunglison of the Je fferson Col.

pages TO an examination of this subject.

natural digestions."
As a DYSPEPSIA CURER, DR. Houghton'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
the very verge of the grave. 1t is imposs-
