DR.JS s. HOUGHTON'S PEPSIN, the
- true Digestive Fluid, or Gastric Juice,
prepared from Rennet, or the fourth stom-
ache of the Ok, after directions from Baron
Liebg, the great Physiological Chemist, by
J. S. Houghton, NJ. d., Philadelphia, Pa.
This is truly wonderful remedy for in
digestion, Dyspepsia, Jaundice, Liver Com
plaint, Constipation and Debility, curing af-
ter Natures own agent, the Gastric Juice.
eS5H Halfa tcaspoouful of Pepsin, infus-
ed in water, will digest or desolve Five
Pounds of Roast Beef, in about two hours,
out of the stomach.
Pepsin is the chief element, or Great Di-
costing Principle of the Gastric Juce-the
Solvent of the food, the Purifying, Preserv-
ing and stimulating agent of the stomach and
intestinCs. Ii is extracted from the digestive
stomach ofthe OK, thus forming an artificial
digestive fluid, precisely like the natural
Gastric Juice in its Chemical powers, and
furnishing n complete and perfect substitute
for it. By the aid of this preparation, the
pains and evils of Indigestion and Dyspepsia
are removed, just rs they would be by n
healthy stomach. 1t is doing wonders for
Dyspeptics, curing eases # Debility, Emac-
alton, Nervous Decline, and Dispeptic Con-
sumption, 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 EVIDENCE.
Baron Liebig in his celebrated work on
Animal Chemistry, says: IAN artificial d-
gestivc fluid, analogous to the gastric Juice,
may be readily prepared from the mucous
membrane of the stomach of the calf, in
which various articles of food. rs meat and
eggs, will be softencd changed and digcstcd.
Just in the same manner rs they would be
in the human stomach"
DIR. Combr, in his valuable writings on the
Physiology of Digestion observes that IA
diminution of the due quantity of the gas
trlc Juice is prominent and all prevailing
cause of Dyspepsia " and he states that ga
distinguished Professor Of Medicine in Lon
don, who was severely afflicted with this
complaint, finding everything else to fail, had
recourse TO the gastric juice, obtained from
the stomach Of living animals which proved
to be perfectly successful"
DIR. Graham, author of the famous works
on "Ncgctablr Diet" says: 1T is II remark
able fact in physiology, that the stomachs of
animals, maccratcd in water, impart TO the
fluid the property of dissoIving various arti-
clcs of food, and of cticcting n kind of ay1if-
CiM digestion of them in no wise different
from the natural digestive process"

DR.. Houghton's Pcpsin has produced the
.""''' ''"'' 'v*'"" CGttrs in curing cases OF de-
bility, cmaciation, nervous decline, aud dys-
pcptic consumption. Ii is isimpossibie TO give
the details of eases in the limits of this adj
vcrtiSCmcnt; but authenticated certificates
have been given of more than fco hundred
remarkable cures in Philadelphia, New York
and Boston alone. These were nearly all
desperate eases, and the cures were not only
rapid and wonderful, but permanent.
II is a great nervous 0ntidote, and particu-
.larly useful for tendency to bilious disorder,
liver complaint fever and agur, or badly trea-
ted fever and aguc, and the evil effects of
quininc, mercury, and other drugs upon the
digestive organs, sitter long sickness. AL
so, for excess in eating, and the two frequent
use of ardent spirits. II almost rcconcilcs
hcaLh with intemperdnce.
OLD .STON1CH COMPLAINTS.

&c, &c.
DIR. Houghton's Pepsin is sold by nearly
all the dealers in fine drugs and popular med
icines throughout the United States. II is
prepared in powder and fluid form, and in
pr scription vials for the use of physicians.
Private circulars for the use of ply sicians,
may be obtained of DIR. Houghton or his n
gents, describing the whole process of pre-
paration, and giving the authorities upon
which the claims of this new remedy are
based. As il is not secret re,nedy no OBJ
jections against its use can be raised BY phsi-
clans in respectable standing and regular
practice. Price one dollar per hottie.
