THE TRUE DIGESTIvEF FLUID, OR. GASTRIC
JUICE. ' -
Prepared from Rennet, or the fourth Stomach OF
the Ok, after directions of Baron Liebg, the
great Physiological Chemist, by S. Houghton,
NJ D., Philadelphia, Pa.
"IDIGEST." Such is the true meaning of the
word Pepsin. 1t is the chief element, OF Great
Dgesting Principle Of rthe Gastrie Juice--the
Solvent Of the Food, the Purifying, Preserving,
and Stimulating Agent of the Stomach and Intes-
tines. tits extracted from the Digestive Stomach
Of the Ok, thus forming TRUE DIGESTIVE
FLUID, precisely like the natural Gastric Juice
in its Chemical powers, and furnishing COM
PLETE and PERFECT SUBSTITUTE for it.
This is NATURES OWN REMEDY for an un-
healthy Stomach. No art of man can equal its
curative powers. 1t contains no ALCOHOL, BIT
TIERS, ACIDS, or NAUSE0US DRUGS 1t is
extremely agreeable to the taste, and may be ta-
ken by the most feeble patients who cannot eat a
wafer cracker without acute distress Beware OF
DRUGGED INVITATIONS Pepsin is NOT A
DRUG.
Half teaspoonful of Pepsin infused in water,
will digest or dissolve Five Pounds Of Roast Beef
in about two hours, out of the stomach.

CHERRY PICTORIAL
For the rapid Cure OF
COUGHS, COLDS, HOARSENESS,
BRONCHITIS, WHOOPING-COUGH,
& GROUP, ASTHMA, AND
CONSUMPTION.


Many years of trial, instead of impairing the
public confidence in this medicine, has won for
il an appreciation and notorety by far exceeding
the most Sanguine expectations of its friends.
Nothing but its intrinsic virtues and the unmis
taxable benefit conferred on thousands of suffer
ers, could originate and maintain the reputation
it enjoys. While many inferior remedies thrust
upon the community, have failed and been dis
carded this has gained friends by every trial,
conferred benefits on the afflicted they can never
forget and produced cures too numerous and too
remarkable to be forgotten.
While il is fraud on the public TO pretend
that any one medicine will infallibly cure-still
there is abundant proof that the CHERRY PEcro-
RAJ does not only as a general thing, but almost
invariably, cure the maladles for which 1t is en-
ployed.
As time makes these facts wider and better
known, this medicine has gradually become the
best reliance of the afflicted, from the log cabin
of the American peasant, to the palaces of Euro
pean Kings. Throughout this entire country in
every state, city. and indeed almost every hamlet
it contains, CHERRY PEcToRAL is known as the
best remedy extant for diseases of the Throat and
Lungs, and in many countries, it is coming to
be extensively u ed by their most intelligent ply
sicians. In Great Britain, France and Germany,
where the medical sciences have reached theil
highest perfection, Cherry Pectoral is introduced
and in constant use in the armies, hospitals, aims
houses, public institutions, and in domestic prac-
tice, as the surest remedy their attending phySi-
clans can employ for the more dangerous affec-
tions of the lungs. Also, in milder cases, and
for children il is safe, pleasant, and efiectual to
cure In fact, some of the most nattering testi-
monials we receive have been from parents who
have found it eicaciouS in cases particularly in
eidental to childhood.
The ClERRY PEcToRAL is manufactured by a
practical Chemist, and every ounce of it under
his own eye, with invariabe accuracy and care
1t is sealed and protected by law from counter
fl S, consequently can be relied on as genuine
without adulteration.
We have endeavored here to furnish the CON-
munity with medicine of such intrinsic supe-
riority and worth as should commend itself tc
their confidence-a remedy at once safe, speed,
and elfectual, which this has, by repeated and
countless trials, proved itself to be and trust BY
great care in preparing it with chemical accuracy,
Of uniform strength to afford physicians new
agent on which they can rely for the best results
and the afflicted with a remedy that will do fol
them all that medicine can do

Messrs. LITTLE & BRowN think you have laid
the profession under great obligations in the re-
publication of the English Reports in Law and
Equity" in this country.
The low price at which the volumes offered
will enable the bar generally in this way to fur
nish their Libraries with the current English Re-
ports, OF which many of them have heretofore been
deprived They will thus have ready access to
The decisions Of courts sitting at the fountain
head Of the law, whence have been derived for the
most part, the several systems, more less mod-
fed, daily administered Ivy the courts Of this
try. And, however modified these systems may
hc, il is manifest that thcse decisions must shed
great light upon the investigation Of most Of the
cases arising here.
Your plan, also, will furnish the profession in
this country with the iMmEpIATELY AFTER
the PUBLicATIoS IN ESoLAND, 4 coSsIDERATIos
or THE FIRsT IMPORTANCE; for, il the Reports Of
cases decided are of any value. the sooner they
arc in the hands Of the profession the better I
sincerely hope your encouragement from the ba r
