Scientific Evidence.
Baron Liebig in his celebrated work on Ami
nal Chemistry says: Can Artificial Digestive
Fluid, analogous 10 the Gastric Juice, may be
readily prepared from the mucous membrane Of
the stomach ofthc Calf, in which various arti-
cles Of flood, as meat and eggs, will be sotened,
changed aid digesled, just in tho same manner
as they would be in the human stomach
Dr., Connie, in his valuable writings on the
Physiology cfDigestion, observes that a dimi.
mutton Of the due quantity Of the Gastric Juice
is prominent and all.prcvailirg cause of Dys-
pcpSia ! and he states that distinguished pro.
lessor Of medicine in London, who was severe
ly afflicted with thi, complaint, finding every
thing else to fail; had recourse 10 the Gastric
Juice obtained from the stomachs Of living ami
mails, which prorcd completely SUCCESSFUL
Professor Duaglison, of the Jefferson College,
Philadel phia, in his great work on Human Ply
siology, deyotes more than fifty pages TO an CT
animation Of this subject. His experiments with
DR.. Beaumont, on the Gastric Juice obtained
from the living human stomach and from ami
mails, arc well known. In all cases. he Gays,
digestion occurred as perfectly in the artificial
as in the natural digestions.'
as 4 DYSPEPSIA CURER,
DR.. Hoagi'on's Pepsin has produced the most

cures were not only rapid and wonderful, but
permanent.

ly useful for tendency to Bilious disorder, Liver
complaint, Fever and Ague, or badly treated
Fever and hsue, and the evil effects of Quininc,
mercury and other drugs uponthc digestive or
gans, after long sickness; also for excess in
