sion of crops afterwards, ripening in every

Planans rlpen in ten TO twelve months after
planting they throw up a succession of young

food.
The bread fruit mango, and ocoa-nut, grow
on large trees. J. J. Quincy says OF the.tirst ::
" 1t is round, Of the size of cocoa-nut, and
covered with green rlnd, divided into hexa-
CONS, like the honey-comb. We were directed
TO keep it for a day or two, then to bake it, and
lastly to cut il in slices TO be toasted for break
fast. We found 1t sweet agreeable, farina-
ceous food, probably the best substitute for
bread that has yet been discovered" The same
writer remarks: " As 10 the mango trees, they
may be sand to cover the country, and during
the four summer months afford abundance OF
delicious food to men, mules, horses, cows,
and pigs. All animals seem equally fond OF
this fruit. The better sorts have somewhat the
flavor of a peach, and are very luscious."-

ANOTHER SCIENTIFIC WONDER,

Prepared from RENNET, or the fourth STOM-
ACH OF THE OK, after directions of BARON
LIEBIG, the great Physiological Chemist, by
]. S. HOUGHTON, NJ. D. Philadelphia. Pa.
This is truly wonderful remedy for lNDIGES-
TION, DYSPEPSIA, JAUNDICE, LIVER
COMPLAINT, CONSTIPATION, and DEBIL-
ITY, Curing after Natures own method, by
Natures own Agent, the Gastric Juice
~ Half teaspoonful of PEPsIN, infused in wa
ter, will digest or dissolve, Fire Pounds of Roast
Besf in about too hours, out of the stomach
PEPSIN is the chief element, or Great Digest
ing Principle of the Gastric Juice--the SoLrent of
the Food, the Purifying, Preserving, and Stimula-
ting Agent of the Stomach and Intestnes. 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 a COM
PLETE and PERFECT SUBSTITUTE for it.
BY the aid of this preparation, the pains and evils
of INDIGESTION and DYSPEPSIA are remov-
ed, just as they would be by healthy Stomach.
1t is doing wonders for Dyspeptics, curing cases
of DEBILITY, ,EMACTATION, NERVOUS DE-
CLINE, and DYSPEPTIC CONSUMPTION,
supposed to be on the verge of the grave. The
Scientific Evidence upon which il is based, is in
the highest degree CURIOUS and REMARKA-
BILE.
SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE!
BARON LIEBIG in his celebrated work on
Animal Chemistry, says: "An Artificial Digestive
Fluid, analogous to the Gastric Juice, may be
readily prepared from the mucous membrane of
the stomach of the Ok, in which various articles
OF food, as meat and eggs, will he soflened chang
ed and digested, just in The same manner as they
,could be in The human slomach.''
