THE TRUE DIGESTIVE FLUID,

A Great Dyspepsia curer, Prepared from
RENNET, or the fourth Stomach of the Ok,
after directions of Baron Lieblg, the great
Physiological Chemist, By j., S. Houghton,
M. D., No.11, North Eighth Street, Pbila.
delphia, Pa. -.
This is a truly wonderful remedy for Indi-
ges,ion, Dyspepsia, J%audice, Liver Com
plant, Constipation, and Debility, Curing
after Natures own method, BY Natures
agent, the Gastric Juice.
~ Half a spoonful of this Fluid, infused
in water, will digest or dissolve, Five Pounds
Of Roast Beef in about ttco hours, out OF the
stomach.
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
Foot, the Purifying, Preserving, and Stimula
ting Agent of the stomach and intcnstines.
Without ii there will be no digestion, no
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, half
dead, or injured stomach produces no good
Gastric Juice, and hence the disease, dis
tres and debility which ensue.
PEpsIN AND RENNET.-Pepsin is the chief
element. or great Digesting Principle of the
Gastric Juice. 1t is found in great album
dance In the solid parts of the human stom-
ach after death, and sometimes causes the
stomach TO digest itself, or eat itself up. j.
is also found in the stomach of animals, as

Liebig states that, One part of Pepsin dis.

SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE!
BARON LIEBIo, in Lis celebrated work on
Animal Chemistry, says: dan Artificial Di-
gesiive Fluid analogous to the Gastric Juice,
may be readily. prepared from the mucous
membrane of the stomach of the Cali, jim
which various articles of food, as meat and
eggs. will be softened, changed, and diges-
ted, 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 Fowlers s.
Wells, New York, page So states the same
great fact, and describes the method of prep
~ara,ion. There are few higher authorities
than DR.. Pereira.
DR. Combe, in his valuable writings on
the physiology of Digestion" observes
that "a diminulion of the due quantity Of
the Gastric Juice is a prominent and all pre-
vailing cause of Dyspepsia )" and he states
that "a distinguished professor of medicine
in London, who was severely afflicted with
this complaint. finding every thing else TO
fail, had recourse TO the Gastric Juice, OBJ
tanned from the stomach of living animals,
which proved completely successful"
DR.. Graham, author of the famous works
on vegetable Diet" says: cit is a remar-
kable fact in physiology, that the stomachs
of animals, macerated in water, impart 10
the fluid the properly of dissolving various
articles of food, and of effecting a kind OF
artificial digestion of them in no wise diff
ferent from the natural digestive process"
DIR. Simon's great work, the "Chemistry
of Man." (Lea g. Blanchard, Phila., 1916,
PIP. 321-2): "The discovery of PEPSlN
70 ms a new era in the chemical history oil
Di ~gestion. From recent experiments we
KIN ow that food is dissolved as rapidly in an
artificial digestive fluid, prepared from Pep.
sin, as il is in the natural Gastric Juice it.
SELF"
Professor Dunglison Of the Jefferson Col.
lege, Philadelphia, in,his great work on HUI
man Physiology, devotes more than fifty
pages to an examination of this subject
His experiments with DR.. Beaumont, on the
Gastric Juice, obtained from the living hL.
man stomach and from animals are well
known. ''In all cases." he says, "digestion
occurred as perfectly in the artificial as the
natural digestions."
As a DYSPEPSIA CURER, DR. Houghton's
preparation of Pepsin has produced the
most marvellous effects, curing cases OF De-
bility, Emaciation, Nervous Decline, and
dispeptic Consumption, supposed to be on
the very verge of the grave. 1t is imposs-
BILE TO give the details of cases in the limit
of this adverlisement-but authenticate
certificates have been of more than ttco hun
dred Remarkable Cures, in Philadelphia, New
York, and Boston alone. These were
ne,,rly all desperate cases, aNd the cures
were moi only rapid and wonderful, but per-
manent.
1t is a great Nervous Antidote, and par
~ticularly useful for tendency to bilious dis
order, Liver Complaint, Fever and Ague, or
badly treated Fever. and Ague, and the evil
effects of Quinine, Mercury, and other drugs
upon the Digestive organs, after a long sick
ness. Also, for excess in eating, and the
too free use of ardent spirits. 1t almost rec
o%nciles Health with lntemperance.
