1881 DIGESTION. sags
Digestion is chiefly performe d In the stom.
ach by the aid Of fluid which freely exudes
from the inner coat of that organ, when In n
state Of health, called the Gastric Juice. This
fluid is the Great Solvent Of the Food, the Pu-
rifying, Preserving and Stimulating Agent Of
the stomach and intestines. Without Il there
will be no digeston--no conversion of food
into blood, and no nutrition of the body; but
rather foul, torpid painful, and destructive
condition ofthe whole digestive apparatus -
A weak, half dead orinlured stomach produ-
ces, no good Gastric Juice, and hence the dis
ease, distress and debility which ensue.
PEPsIN AND RENNET. .l1Ht
Pepsin is The chief element or great dipes.
ting principle OF the Gastric Juice. Il is
found in great abundance in the solid parts
Of the human stomach after death, and some
times causes the stomach to digest itself, or
eat itself up. 1t is also found in the stomach
of animals, as the OK, calf. &c. 1t is the ma
terial used by farmers in making cheese,
called Rennet, the effect Of which has long
been the special wonder Of the dairy. Tho
| cordling Of milk is the first process Of dges-
tion. Rennet possesses astonishing pow
er. The stomach Of "a calf will curdle nearly
one thousand times its own weight Of milk.
Baron Liebig states that zone part OF Pepsin
dissolved in sixty thousand parts 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: q di
SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE. II
Baron Liebig, in his celebrated work on
Animal Chemistry, gays: ''An Artificial
| Digestive Fluid may be readily prepared from
the mucous membrane Of the stomach 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 STOOD
and Diet" published by Wilson & Co., New
YORK, page 30. states the same great fact, and
describes the method ofpreparation, There
are few higher authorities than Or. Pereira.

whether artificial digestion could be per-
formed-but tits now universally admitted
that it may be.' "a'i
| Professor Dunglson Of Philadelphia, in his
great work on Human Physiology, deyotes
more than fifty pages to an examination OF
this subject. His experiments with DR..

] AS Dyspepsia Curer, DR.. Houghton's pre-
| paration Of Pepsn has produced the most
marvellous effects, curing cases of Debility.
Emaciation. Nervous Decline and Dyspeptio
Consumption, supposed to be on the very
verge Of the grave. 1t is impossible to give
the details OF cases in the limits of this ad-
vertisement-but authenticated certificates
have been given of more than 200 remalk-
able cures in Philadelphia, New York and
Boston alone. These were nearly all des-
lperate cases, and the cures were nor only
rapid and wonderful but permanent
1t is great Nervous Anudote, and from
the astonishingly small quantity necessary to
produce healthy digestion is believed to act
upon electromagnetic principles! .
There is no form Of old Stomach Complaints
which it does not seem to reach and remove
at once. No matter how bad they may be-.
Ii gives instant relief! A single dose re :
moves all the unpleasant SYMPTOMS, and it
only needs to be repeated for short time
to make these good effects permanent. Pu-
rity of blood and Vigor of Body follow at
once. 1t is particularly excellent in cases
Of Nausea. Vomiting. Cramps, Soreness ofthe
pit Of the Stomach, distress after eating, low
cold state Of the Blood, Heaviness, Lowness
Of Spirits, Dependency, Emaciation, Weak
ness, tendency to Insanity, Suicide, sc.
