Prepared from Rennet or the fourth stomach

This is truly wonderful remedy forIndi
Qestion, Dyspepsia, Jaundice. Liver Com.
plant, Constipation and Debility, curing
after Nature's own methed, by Natures
own agent, the Gastric Juice.
~ Hall teaspoonful OF this Flaid infused
in water will digest or dissolve. FIVE pounds
OF Roast Beef IN about two hours, out Of
the stomach. fn
DIGESTION.
Digestion is chiefly performed in the stom-
ach By the aid Of fluid which freely exudes
from the inner coat Of that organ, when In
state OF health, called the Gastric Juice. This
fluid is the Great Solvent Of the Food, the Pu.
|rifying, Preserving and Stimulating Agen, of
the stomach and intestines. Without i 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.
ease, distress and debility which ensue.
PEPSIN AND RENNET.
Pepsin is the chief element or great diges.
ting principle OF the Gastric Juice. It is
found in great abundance in the solid parts
Of the human stomach after death, and some-
times causes the stomach 10 digest itself, or
eat itself up. II 10 also found in the stomach
of animals, as tho OK, calf. &c. It 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
cording Of milk is the first process Of diges.
ton. Rennet possesesses astonishing pow
er. The stomach Of a calf will curdle nearly
one thousand times it's own weight OF milk.
Baron Liebig states that zone part oi Pepsin
dissolved in sixty thousand parts OF water,
will digest meat and other food.r Diseased
stomacks produce no good Gastric Juice,
Rennet or Pepsin. To show that this want
may be perfectly supplied we equots the fol-
SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE.
Baron Liebir, in his celebrated work on
Animal Chemistry. says: IAN Artificial
Digestive Fluid may be readily prepared from
the mucous membrane Of thestomach 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"
Dir. Pereira in his famous treatise on "Food
and Diet,n published by Wilson & CO., New
York, page IS. states the came great fact, and
describes the method Of preparation. There
are few higher authorities than DR.. Pereira.
DR., John w. Draper. Professor Of Chemis-
try in the Medical College Of the University y
Of New York, in his ''Text Book Of Chemis
try !, page 1856 says. sit has been question
whether artificial digestion could be per.
formed-but It is now universally admitted
Professor Dunelison Of Philadelphia. in his
great work on Human Physiology. dsvotes
more than fifty pages TO an examination o.
this subject. His experiments with Dr.

from the living human stomach and from an
imals, are well known.yg'sIn all cases." he
says, "dgestion occurred as perfectly in the
artificial as in the natural digestions."
Asa Dyspepsia Curer, DR.. Houghton's pre-
paration Of Pepsin has produced the mos,
marvellous effects, curing cases Of Debility.
Emaciation., Nervous Decline and Dyspeptic
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 remark
able cures in Philadelphia, New York and
Boston alone. These were nearly all des-
perate cases. and the cures were NOT only
rapid and wonderful but permanent.
