L IN. y. -. l1oUUttlONS PEPSlN, the
~ true Digestive Fluid, or Gastric Juice,
prepared from Rennet, or the fourth stom-
ache of the Ok, after directions from Baron
Liebig, the great Physiological Chemist, by
]. s. Houghton, NJ. d., Philadelphia, Pa.
This is truly a wonderful remedy for in
digestion, Dyspepsia, Jaundice, Liver Com
plaint, Constipation and Debility, curing af-
ter Natures own agent, the Gastric Juice.
eS~ Half teaspooAful of Pepsin, infus--
cd in water, will digest or desolve Five
Pounds of Roast Beef, in about two hours,
out of the stomach.
Pepsin is the chief element, or Great Di-
gesting Principle of the Gastric Juce-the
Solvent of the food, the Purifying, Preserv-
ing and stimulating agent of the stomach and
intestincs. 1t is extracted from the digestive
stomach of the OK, thus forming an artificial
digestive fluid, precisely like the natural
furnishing complete and perfect substitute
for it. BY the aid of this preparation, the
pains and evils of Indigestion and Dyspepsia
are removed, just as they would be by
healthy stomach is doing wonders for
Dyspeptics, curing cases Of Debility, Emaci-
alton, Nervous Decline, and Dispeptic Cons
sumption, supposed to be on the verge Of
the grave. The scientific evidence upon
which it is based, is in the highest degree
curious and remarkable.
SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE.
Baron Iieb;g in his celebrated work on
Animal Chemistry, says: "An artificial di
gestive fluid, analogous to the gastric juice,
may be readily prepared from the mucous
membrane of the stomach Of the calf, in
which various articles of food, rs meat and
eggs, will be softencd changed and digested,
just in the same manner as they would bo
in the human stomach" a..
DIR. Combc, in his valuable writings on the
physiology of Digesti H." observes that "a
diminution of the due quantity of the gas
trio juice is a prominent and all prevailing
cause of Dyspepsia; " and he states that "a
distinguished Professor of Medicine in Lon
don, who was severely afflicted with this
complaint, finding everything else to fail, had
recourse to the gastric juice, obtained from
the stomach Of living animals, which proved
to be perfectly successful"
DIR. Graham, author of the famous works
on Vegetable Diet" says at is a remark
able fact in physiology, that the stomachs of
animals, macerated in water, impart to the
fluid the property Of dissolving various arti-
cles of food, and of effecting kind Of arfif-
cia digestion of them in no wise different
from the natural digestire process"

desperate cases, and the cures were not only
rapid and wonderful, but permanent
1t is great nervous dntidote, and particu-
larly useful for tendency to bilious disorder,
liver complaint, fever and ague, or badly trea-

jections against its use can be raised by phsi-
clans in respectable standing and regular
practice. Price one dollar per bottle.
