S. HoUGHToN, NJ. D., Philadelphia, Pa This is a
truly wonderful remedy for Indigestion, Dyspepsia,
Jaundce, Liver Complaint, Constipation, and Debl-
ty, Curing after Natures own method, by Natures
Agent the Gastric Juice. Half teaspoonfuI
of PEPsN infused in water, will digest or dissolve fUe
pounds Of roast beef IN about co hours, out of the
stomach.
Pepsn is the chief element, great dgesting prin-
cpe of the Gastric Juice-the solvent of the food,
the nurying, preserving and stimulating agent of the
Stomach and Inestines 1t is extracted from the d.
gestive stomach of the Ok, thus forming Artificial
Digestive Fluid, precisely like the natural Gastric
Juice in its Chemical powers, and furnishing COM
plete 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 a
healthy Stomach tits doing wonders for Dyspeptics,
curing of debility, emacaton, decline,
and Dyspeptic Consumption, 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 EUidence.-Baron Liebig in his celebrated
work Animal Chemistry, says: g An Artificial Di-
gestive 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 be softeaed changed and dtgeS-
ted, Just an the same they looud be in the hu-
man stomach. -

Secretary Of State for the purpose of making

government to inform that Of the United States OF
the fact that Mr. Edmund j. Forstall has advanced
q sum of four hundred thousand dollars to Mex
leo, which, according to agreement, must be re-
turned in full to him when the next instalment Of
the indemnity which the United States are paying
to Mexico, in pursuance of the treaty of Guada-
lupe, shall become due.
"The undersigned encloses herewith to the
Secretary of State copy of the note he has re-
ceived from his government, as is shown by copy
No. q; and another sum of one hundred thousand
dollars, as it appears from the note marked No.

memorandum of this last note that the sum adj
vanced is two hundred thousand dollars, the I'M

through mistake; and that the sum advanced
is only one hundred thousand dollars, as will be
shown by the respective certificates which the

the party interested.
