This is a truly wonderful remedy for IN.
DIGES rION, DYSPEPSIA. JAUND1CE.
LIVER COMPLAINT, CONSTIPATION.
and DEBILITY, curing after Natures own
method, BY Natures own Agent, the Gastric
Juice.
~ Half teaspoonin of PErsIS, infused
in water will diges, or dissolve Five Pounds

PEPSIN is the chief element or Great Di>
gcstrs Principle ofthe Gastric Juice-the Sol
vent of the Food the Purif, ing, Preserving,
and Stimulating Agent of the Stomach and
Intcsiines. 1t is extracted from the Digestive
Stomach Of the o. thus forming an ARTl-
FICIAL DIGESTIVE FLUID precisely
like the natural Gastric Juice in It's Chemical
powers, aud furnishing COMPLETE and
PERFECT SUBSTITUTE for it. BY tho
aid of this preparation, the pains and evils ut
INDIGESTION and DYSPEPSIA are re-
moved, Just ms they would be by healthy

CONSUMPTION, supposed to be on the
verge of the grave. Y he Scientific Evidence
upon which it is based is in the highest degree
CURIOUS and REMARKa BLE
SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE!
BARON LIEBIG, in his celohiaicd work
on Animal Chemistry, says " Artificial Di-
gestive Fluid, analogous to the Gastric Jace,
may lie readily prepared from the mucous
mcmbrance of the Stomach of the Calf, in
which various articles Of food, rs meat aud
eggs will he softcned changed, and digested
just in the same manner rs they would be III
the human ctumach."
DIR. PERElRA. in his famous treatise on

Wells New York, page 80, st ties the same
