DIGESTION.
| Digestion is chiefly performt in the stom-
ach BY the aid Of fluid which freely exudes
| from the inner coat of that organ, when in a
state of health, called the Gastric Juice. This
| fluid is the Great Solvent of the Food, the Pu.
rifying, Preserving and Stimulating Agent ol
the stomach and intestines. Without it there
will be no digestion-no conversion Of food
into blood, and no nutrition Of the body; but
rather foul. torpid painful, and destructive
condition OF the whole digestive apparatus -
A weak, half dead or injured stomach produ.
ces no good Gastric JUICE, and hence the dis.
ease, distress and debility which ensue.
PEPSIN AND RENNET.
| Pepsin is the chief element or great diges.
ting principle OF the Gastric Juice. II is
found in great abundance in the solid parts
of the human stomach after death, and some-
times causes the stomach to digest itself, OF
eat itself up. II is also found in the stomach
of animals, as tho ok, calf. &c. 1t is the ma
tprial used by farmers in making cheese,
called Rennet, the effect of which has long
been the special wonder Of the dairy. The
cordling of milk is the first process Of diges.

stomacks produce no good Gastric Juice,
Rennet or Pepsin. To show that this want
may be perfectly supplied we quote the fol-

SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE.
Baron Liebig, in his celebrated work on
!. Animal Chemistry, Gays: "An Artificial
Digestive Fluid may be readily prepared from
the mucous membrane Of thestomach of the
calf. in which various articles Of food. as
meat and eggs. will Be softencd, changed
| u
they would be in the human stomach.n
DR.. Pereira in his famous treatise on "Food
and Det,n published by Wilson g. Co., New
York, page 35. states the same great fact, and
describes the method of preparation. There
are few higher authorities than Or. Pereira.
Dr.. John w. Draper, Professor Of Chemis-
try in the Ned cal College of the University
OF New York, in his "Text Book of Chemis
try,n page 1856 SAYS, ''ii has been question
whether artificial digestion could be per-
formed-but it is now universally admitted
that it may be-"
Professor Dungison OF Philadelphia, in his
great work on Human Physiology. devotes
more than fifty pages to an examination o!
this subject. His experiments with DR..
Beaumont. on the Gastric Juice, obtained
from the living human stomach and from an
imals, are well known. "In all cases,' he
saws, "digestion occurred as perfectly in the
artificial as in the natural digestions''
Asa Dyspepsia Curer, Dr.. Houghton's pre-
paration of Pepsin has produced the most
marvellous effects, curing cases Of Debility,
Emaciation. Nervous Decline and Dyspeptic
Consumption, supposed to be on The very
verge Of the grave. 1t is impossible to give
the details of cases in the limits of this ad
vertisement-but authenticated certificates
have been given of more than 200 remark
able cures in Philadelphia, New York and
Boston alone. These were nearly all des-
perate cases, and the cures were not only
rapid and wonderful but permanent.
1t is great Nervous Antidote, and from
the astonishingly small quantity necessary to
produce healthy digestion is believed to act
upon electromagnetic principles!
There is no form of old Stomach Complaints
which it does not seem to reach and remove
at once. No matter how bad they may be,
it gives instant relief A single dose re-.
moves all the unpleasant SYMPTOMS, and il
only needs to be repeated for short time
to make those good effects permanent. Pu-
rity of blood and Vigor Of Body follow OF
once. 1t is particularly excellent in cases
Of Nausea. Vomiting. Cramps, Soreness of the
pit of the Stomach, distress after eating, low
cold state of the Blood, Heaviness, Lowness
Of Spirits, Dependency, Emaciation, Weak
ness, tendency to Insanity, Suicide, &c.
Price, one dollar per bottle. One bottle
will often effect lasting cure.
