This is a truly wonderful remedy for Indi-
ges,ion, Dyspepsia, Jauaice, Liver Com
plant, Constipation, and Debility, Curing
after Natures own method, BY Naturc's own
agent, the Gastric Juice.
~ Half a spoonful of this Fluid, Infused
in water, will digest or dissolve, Euc 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 Stlmula-
ting Agent of the stomach and intenstines.
Without il there will be no digestion,-n
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, hall
dead, or injured stomach produces no good

.PEPsIN AND RENNET,-Pepsin is the chief
element. or great Digesting Principle Of the
Gastric Juice. II is found in great abun-
dance In the solid parts of the human stom-
ach after death, 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-
cial wonder of the dairy. The curdliug Of
milk is the frat process of digestion. Rem
net possesses astonishing power. The stom-
ach of a calf viii curdle nearly one thou
sand times its own weight of milk. Baron
Liebig states that, sOne part of Pepsin DIS
solved in sixty thousand parts OF water, will
digest meat and other food" Diseased
stomachs produce no good Gastric Juice

SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE!
Baron LIEBIe, in Lis celebrated work on
Animal Chemistry, says: Gan Artificial Di-
g~esiive Fluid analogous to the Gastric Juice,
may be readily prepared from the Mucous
membrane Of the stomach of the Calf, in

be in the human stomach"
DR.. Pereira, in his famous treatise on
"Food and Diet,n published by Fowlers s.
Wells, New York, page So. states the same
great fact, and describes the method of prep
~aration. There are few higher authorities
than DIR. Pereira.
DR. Combe, in his valuable writings on
the "Physiology of Digestion observes
that "a elimination of the due quantity OF
the Gastric Juice is a prominent and all -pre-
vailing cause of Dyspepsia p and he states
that ia distinguished professor of medicine
in London, who was severely afflicted with
