This is truly wonderful remedy for Indi
geston, Dyspepsia, Jaudice, Liver Com
plaint, Constipation, and Debility, Curing
after Natures own method, By Natures own
agent, the Gastric Juice.

in water, will digest or dissolve, Fre Pounds

Digestion is Chiefly performed in the
stomach by the aid Of fluid which freely
exudes from the inner coat OF that organ,
when in a state OF health callsd the Gastric
Juice. This fluid is the Great solvent of the
Food, the Purifying, Preserving, and Siimula-
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 tho
whole digestive apparatus. A weak, half
dead, or injured stomach produces no good
Gastric Juice, and hence the ajsHase dis
res and debility which erxIs. -4..

be in the human stomach"
