DIGESTION.
Digestion is chiefly performt d in the .tom-
ach BY the aid Of n fluid which freely exudes
from the inner coat of that orgnn. when in a
state ofhealth, called the Gastric Juice. This
fluid is the Great Solvent Of the Food. the Pin.

the stomach and intestnes. Without i there
will be no digestion--no conversion of food
into blood, and no nutrition of the body: but
rather foul, torpid painful, and destructive

ces no good Gastric 1siee, and hence the dis.
ease, distress and debility which ensue.
b PEPSIN AND RENNET.
Pepsin is the chief elenentor great diqes-
Ting principle OF tAe Gastric luce. Il is
found in great abundance in The solid parts
Of the human stomach after death, and some
times causes the stomach 10 digest itself, or
eat itself up. 1t s also found in the stomach
Of animals, as tho OK, calf. &c. 1t is the ma
t.rial used by farmers in making cheese,
called Rennet, the effect OF which has long
been the special wonder Of the dairy. The
cordling of milk is the FIRST process Of diges-
tion. Rennet possesses astonishing pow
er. The stomach Of calf will cardle nearly
one thousand times its own weight OF milk.
Baron Liebig states that zone part Of Pepsin
dissolved in sixty thousand paris Of water,
will digest meat and other food.n Diseased
stomacks produce no good Gastric Juice,
Rennet or Pepsin. To show that this want
may be perfectly supplied we quote the fol-
lowing:
SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE.
Baron Liebig, in his celebrated work on
Animal Chemistry, says: IAN Artificial
Digestive Fluid may be readily prepared from
the mucous membrane of thestomaeh Of the
calf. in which various articles OF food, as
meat and eggs. will be softencd, changed
and digested, 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 Wilson g. Co., New
York, page 35, states the same great fact, and
describes the method Of preparation. There
are few higher authorities than Dr.. Pereira.
DR.. John w. Draper, Professor OF Chemis-
try in the Medical College of the University
| OF New York, in his "Text Book OF Chemis.
try" page 1856. says. ait has been a question
whether artificial digestion could be per-
formed-but il is now universally admitted
that il may be-"
Professor Dunglison OF Philadelphia, in his
great work on Human Physiology, devotes
more than fifty pages to an examination oe
this subject. His experiments with DR..
Beaumont, on the Gastric Juice, obtained
from the living human stomach and from an
imols, are well known. "ln all cnses.n he
says, "digestion occurred as perfectly in tho
artificial as in the natural dgestions"
Asa Dyspepsia Curer, Dr.. Houghton's pre-
paration of Pepsn has produced the most
marvellous effects, curing cases of Debility,
Emaciation, Nervous Decline and Dyspepic
Consumption, supposed to be on the very
verge Of the grave. 1t is impossible to give
the details os cases in the limits Of this ad-
vertisement-but authenticated certificates
have been given of more than 200 remark
able cures in Philadelphia, New York and
Boston alone. These were nearly all des-
perate cases, and the cures were no. only
rapid and wonderful but permanent.
1t is great Nervous Ant,dote, and from
the astonishingly small quantity necessary to
produce hesl,hy digestion is believed to act
upon electromagnetic principles!
