THE TRUE DIGESTIVE FLUID, OR GASTRIC
JUICE.
Prepared from Rennet, OF the fourth Stomach of
the Ok, after directions of Baron Liebig, the
great Physiological Chemist, by J. S. Houghton,
NJ. D., Philadelphia, Pa.
"lDlGEST." Such is the true meaning of the
word Pepsin 1t is the chief element, or Great
DigeSting Principle of the Gastric Juice-the
Solvent of the Food, the Purifying, Preserving
and Stimulating Agent of the Stomach and InteS-
tines. 1t is extracted from the Digestive Stomach
of the Ok, thus forming a TRUE DIGESTIVE
FLUID, precisely like the natural Gastric Juice
in its Chemical powers, and furnishing a COM
PLETE and PERFECT SUBSTITUTE for it.
This is NATURES OWN REMEDY for an un-
healthy Stomach. No art of man can equal its
curative powers. 1t contains no ALCOHOL, BIT
TIERS, ACIDS, or NAUSEOUS DRUGS. 1t is
extremely agreeable to the taste, and may be ta-
ken by the most feeble patients who cannot eat a
wafer cracker without acute distress. Beware of
DRUGGED INVITATIONS. Pepsin is NOT A
DRUG.
Half teaspoonful of Pepsin infused in water,
will digest or dissolve Five Pounds of Roast Beef
in about two hours, out of the stomach.
