nR. J. s. HOUGHTON'S PEPSIN, the
~ true Digestive Fluid, or Gastric Juice,
prepared from Rennct, or the fourth stom-
ache of the Ok, after directions from Baron
Iiebig, the great Physiological Chemist, by
J. s. Houghton, NJ. d., Philadelphia, Pa.
This is truly Il wonderful remedy for in
digestion, Dyspepsia, Jaundice, Liver Com
Plaint, Constipation and Debility, curing af-
ter Natures own agent, the Gastric Juice.
sB Halfa tcaspoonful of Pcpsin, infus,
ed in water, VIII digest or dcsOlve 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 Juice-ths
Solvent of the food, the Purifying, Prcserv-
ing and stimulating agent Of the stomach and
intestines II is extracted from the Digestive
stomach fthe OK, thus forming an artificial
digestive fluid, precisely like the natural
Gastric Juice in its Chemical powers, and
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 n
healthy stomach. It is doing wonders for
Dyspeptics, curing cases # Debility. Emaci-
alton, Nervous Decline, and Dispeptic Con-
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 Lcbig 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. i'm
which various articles of food, rs meat and
eggs, will be softcncd changed and ,Iigcsted,

in the human SfOmach"
DR.. Combr, in his valuable writings on the
physiology of Digcsti ~" observes that "a
dimnution of the due quantity of the pas-
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"
Dr. Graham, author of the famous wo.ks
on Vegetable Dict" says: ut is n remark
able fact in physiology, that the stomachs of
animals, naccratcd in water impart TO the
fluid the property of dissoIving variou, arti
cles of food, and of eifccting kind of artiE-
c'nl digestion of them in no wise different

all the dealers in fine drugs, and popular med
cines throughout the United States. Il is
prepared in powder and fluid form, and in
pr scription walls for the use Of physicians.
