The true Digestive Fluid, or Gastric Jnics
prepared from Rennet, or the fourth stom-
ache of the Ok, after directions from Baron
iiebig, the great Physiological Chemist, by
J. s. Houghton, M. D., Philadelphia. Pm.
This is truly wonderful remedy for in.
digestion, Dyspepsia, JauHdice, Liver Com.
plaint, Constipation and Debility, curing af.
ter Natures own agent, the Gastric Juice.
e1 Halfa teaspoonful of Pepsiu, iDfus-
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 Dr.
gcsting Principle Of the Gastric Juice-thc
Solvent of the food, the Purifying, Preserv.
ing and stimulating agent of the stomach and
intestines. 1t is extracted from the digestive
stomach 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
arc removed, just as they would be by
healthy stomach. It is doing wonders for
Dyspcptics, curing cases Of 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 Lrbig in his celebrated work on
Animal Chemistry, says: "An artificial di-
gestivc fluid, analogous to the gastric Juice,
may be readily prepared from the mucous
membrane of the stomach of the calf, in
which various aFHelcs of food, as meat and
eggs, will be softened changed and digcstcd,
Just IN tho same manner as they would bc
in the human stomach"
DR.. Combc, in his valua bic writings on the
Physiology of Digcsti ~" observes that IA
diminution Of the ducg uan,ity of the gas
trio juice is n 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
tho stomach of living animsls, which proved
to be perfectly successful"
DR.. Graham, author of tho famous works
on Vegetable Diet" says alt il n remark
able fact in physiology, that the stomachs Of
animals, maccrated in water, impart to tho
fluid the property of dissolving various arti-
cles of food, and of effecting kind of arfif-
ciai digestion of them in no wise different
from the natural digestive process"

as A DYSPEPSIA CURE,
DIR. Houghton's Pepsin has produced the
mos, mdrrelOus effects, in curing cases Of de-
bility, emaciation, nervous decline, aud dys-
PePtie consumption. il isimpossibic to give
the details Of eases in the limits Of this ad-
vertisemcnt; but authenticated certificates
have been given of more than f,ro L,tndrsd
remarkable cures in Phladclphia, New York,
and Boston alone. These were nearly all
desperate cases, and the cnres were not only
rapid and wonderful, but permanent.
1t is great nervous antidotr, and particu-
lariy useful for tendency to bilious disorder,
liver complaint, fever and ague, or badly trca-
ted fever and ague, and tho evil effects of
quinine, mercury, and other drugs upon the
digestive organs after n long sickness AL
so, for excess in eating, and the two frequent
nse Of ardent spirits 1t almost rcconcilea
health with intemperance.
OLD STOMACH COMPLAINTS
There Is no form Of old stomach cornplaiRfs
which 1t docs not seem TO rcach and remove
at once. No matter how bad they may be-
1t gives instant relief! a single dose re-
moves all unpleasant symptoms and, il only
needs to be repeated for short time to make
these good effects permanent. PURITY of
body and rigor Of blood follow at once. II Is
particularly excellent in cases off nausea, yom-.
iting, cramps, soreness Of the Dit of the
stomach, distress after eating, low, cold state
of tho blood, heayiness, iowness Of spirits,
dependency, tendency to insanity, suicide,
&c, &c.
Dr. Houghton's Pcpsin is sold by nearly
all the dealers in fine drugs, and popular med
icines throughout tho United Stntes. It is
prepared In powder and fluid form, and In
prescription walls for the use Of physicians.
Private circulars for the use of physicians.
may be obtained of DIR. Houghton or his A.
gents, describing the whole process Of pre-
paration, and giving the authorities upon
which the claims of this new remedy are
based. As it is not secret remedy, no OBJ
jections against its use can be raised by phsi-
clans in respectable standing and regular
practice. Price one dollar per bottle.
