ANOTHER SCIENTIFIC WONDER,

Prepared from RENNET, or the fourth STOM-
ACH OF THE OK, after directions Of BARON
LIE8lG, the great Physiological Chemist, by
J. S. HOUGATON, NJ. d. Philadelphia. Pa.
This is truly wonderful remedy for INDIGES-
TION, DYSPEPSIA, JAUNDlCE, LIVER
COMPLAINT, CONSTIPATION, and DEBIL-
ITY, Curing after Natures own method, by
Natures own Agent, the Gastric Juice
~ Half teaspoonful Of PEPsIN, infused in wa
ter, will digest or dissolve, Fire Pounds of Roast
BE fin abom tmO hours, out Of the stomach.
PEPSIN is the chief element, or Great Digest
ing Principle Of the Gastric JuIce--the SoLrem af
The Food the Purifying, Preserving, and SHmuia-
Ting Agent Of the Stomach and Intestnes. 1t is
extracted from The Digestive Stomach Of the Ok,
thus forming an ARTIFICIAL DIGESTIVE
FLUID, precisely like the natural Gastric Juice in
its Chemical powers, and furnishing a COM
PLETE and PERFECT SUBSTITUTE for it..
By the aid of this preparation, the pains and evils
of ofINDIGESTlON and DYSPEPSIA are remov-
ed, just as they would be by healthy Stomach.
!, is doing wonders for Dyspeptics, curing cases
of DEBILITY, ,EMACIATlON, NERVOUS DE-
CLINE, and DYSPEpTIC CONSUMPTION,
supposed to be on the verge of the grave. The
Scientific Evidence upon which il is based, is in
the highest degree CURIOUS and REMARKA-
BILE.
SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE!
BARON LIEBIG in his celebrated work on
Animal Chemistry, says: "An Artificial Digestive
Fluid, analogous 10 the Gastric Juice, may be
readily prepared from the mucous membrane of
the stomach of the Ok, in which various articles
OF food, as meat and eggs, will he sofened chang
ed and digested, just in The same manner as they
uOuH be IN The human stomach"

Honey Rees.

The Albany Cultivator has an interesting
article on honey bees, from the pen of
distinguished professor, from which we quote
the following paragraphs: "Many, nearly ev-
erybody, supposes that the bee culls honey
from the nectar of the flowers, and simply
carries it to its cell in the hive. This is
not correct The nectar it collects from
the Hover is portion of its food or drink
the honey it deposits in its cell is secretion
from its melli6c or honey secreting glands,
(analagous to the milk secretlng gland Of
the COW and other animals.) If they we're
the mere collectors and transporters of hon.
ey from the flowers to the honey y.comb, then
we would have the comb frequently filled
with molasses, whenever the bees have
fed at the molasses hogshead. The honey
bag in the bee performs the saline functions
as the cows bag or udder, merely receiving
the honey from the scecreting glands, and
retaining it until proper opportunity pre-
sents for its being deposited in its appropri-
ate storehouse, the honey comb. Another
error is that the bee collects pollen from
the flowers, accidentally, while it is in search
of honey. Quite the contrary is the fact
l. uc Dte, Willie III ScdIcu OI OF nom
ey, as it is improperly called, does not col
lect pollen. 1t goes in search of pollen spe-
cially, and also for nectar. When the pol
len of the flower is ripe, and fit for the use
of the bee, there is no nectar; when there
is nectar, there is no pollen fit for its use in
the flower. 1t is generally supposed also,
that the bee collects the wax from which it
constructs its comb from some vegetable SUBJ
stance. This is also an error. The wax is
a Secretion from its body, as the honey is;
and it makes its appearance in small scales or
flakes. or under the rings of the belly, and is
taken thence by other bees, rendered plastic
by mixture with the saliva of the bees mouth
and laid on the walls of the cell with the
tongue, very much in the way plasterer
uses his trowel'

Personal BEAUTY.-A recent writer
concludes his observat ions on the means to
be adopted to procure beauty in the person
in these words ''Let then the ladies observe
the following rules In the morning use
pure water as preparatory ablution after
which they must abstain from all sudden
gusts of passion, particularly of envy, as
that gives the skin a sallow paleness. 1t
may seem trihing to talkof temperance, yet
must this be attended to, both in eating and
drinking, if they would avoid those pimples
for which the advertised washes are a cure.
Instead of rouge, let them use moderate ex-
ercise, which will raise natural bloom on
their cheek, inimitable by art Ingeni-
Gus candor, and unaffected good humor VIII
give an openness to their countenance that
will make them universally agreeable. \
desire of pleasing viii add fire to their eyes,
and breathing the morning air at sunrise
will give their lip vermillion hue. That
amiable vivacity which they now possess
may be happily heightened and preserved,
if they avoid late hours and card-playing, as
well as novel-reading by candle-light, but
not otherwise: for the first gives the face
a drowsy, dlsagreeable aspect, the second is
the mother Of wrinkles, and the third is a
fruitful source of weak eyes and sallow
complexion. A white hand is very desir-
able ornament; and hand can never be
white unless it is kept clean; nor is this all,
for if a young lady would excel her com
panions in this respect, she must keep her
hands in constant motion, which will occasion
the blood to circulate freely, and have a
wonderful effect The motion recommend
ed is working at needle, brushing up the
house, and twirling the distaff.'
