nR. J. 8. HOUGHTON'S PEPSIN, the
~ true Digestive Fluid, or Gastric Juice,
prepared from Rennet, or the fourth stom-
ache of the Ok, after directions from Baron
Lebig, the great Physiological Chemist, by
J. s. Houghton, NJ. D., Philadelphia, PA.
This is truly wonderful remedy for in
digestion, Dyspepsia, Jaundice, Liver Com
plaint, Constipation and Debility, curing af-
ter Natures own agent, the Gastric Juice.
R" Halfa tcaspoouful 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-
gcsting Principle of the Gastric Juice-the
Solvent of the food, the Purifying, Preserv-
ing and stimulating agent of the stomach and
intestines. 1t is extracted from the digestive
stomach of the 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
healthy stomach. II is doing wonders for
DyspePtics, curing cases If Debility, Emaci-
alton, Nervous Decline, and Dispeptic Con-
sumption, supposed to be on the verge Of
the grave. The scientific evidence 1pon
which il is based is in the highest degree
curious end remarkable. .....
SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE.
Baron Liebig in his celebrated work on
Animal Chemistry, says: "An artificial di-
gcstivc fluid, analogous to the gastric Juice,
may bc readily prepared from the mucous
membrane of the stomach of the calf. i'm
which various articles Of food, as meat and
eggs, will be softened changed and digested,
Just IN the same manner rs they would be
in the human stomach"
DIR. Combe, in his valuable writings on the
Physiology of Digesti n," 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 n
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 works
on Vegetable Diet" says: at ia remark
able fact in physiology, that the, stoSnnsKs of
animals, macerated in water, impart to the
huld tho property of dissolving various art:-
cies OF food, and of effecting kind Of artiT-
