DIGESTION.
| Digestion is chiefly performfd d in the stonl-
ach BY the aid Of fluid which freely exudes
| from the inner coat Of that organ, when in a
state Of health, caledi 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 it there
will be no digestioD-no conversion Of food
| into blood, and no nutrition OF the body; but
rather foul, torpid painful, and destructive
condition Of the whole digestive apparatus
A weak, half dead or injured stomach produ-
ces no good Gastric Juice, and hence the dis-
case, distress and debility which ensus.
s9.3 PEPSIN AND RENNET. aa.i ,s
| Pepsin is the chief element or great digeA
ting principle OF the Gastric Juice. II 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. It is also found in the stomach
Of animals, as tho 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. The
cordling Of milk is the first process Of diges.

er The stomach Of a calf will curdle nearly
one thousand times its own weight OF milk.
Baron Liebig states that zone part ol Pepsin
dissolved in sixty thousand parts Of water,
will digest meat and other food,n Diseased
Rennet or Pepsn. To show that this want
may be perfectly supplied we quote the fol-
lowing: sa

Baron Liebig, in his celebrated work on
| Animal Chemistry, says: IAN 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 hnman stomnch.'' s

and Det,n published by Wilson g. Co., New

describes the method of preparation. There
are few higher authorities than Or. Pereira.

of New York, in his "Text Book OF Chemis-

that it may be-" AID ~ r-- eaf

Asa Dyspepsia Curer, DR.. Houghton's pre-

rapid and wonderful but permanent.
It is great Nervous Antidote, and from
