ANOTHER SCIENTIFIC WONDER
GREAT CURE FOR
. DY YSPEPSIA.
D R. J, S, H0UG HTON'S
PEPSIN.

The true Digestive Fluid, or Gastric Juice
prepared from Rcnnet, or the fourth stom-
ache of the Ok, after directions from Baron
ihchIg; the great Physiological Chemist, by
j. 5; Houghton, NJ. d., Philadelphia, Pa.
lhls Is truly a wonderful remedy for in
digestion, Dyspepsia, Jaundice, Liver Com
pimnt' Constipation and Debility, curing af-
ter Natures own agent, the Gastric Juice.
Sc Halfa teaspoonful of Pepsin, infus-
ca IN water, VIII digest or desolve Five
rounds OF Roast Beef, in about two hours,
out of the stomach.
Pepsin is the chief element, or Great Di-
gesting Principle of the Gastric Juice-the
solvent OF the food, the Purifying, Prcserv-
ing and stimulating agent of the stomach and
intestines. 1t is extracted from the digestive
stomach of the OK, thus forming am artificial
digestive fluid, precisely like the natural
Gastric Juice in its Chemical powers, and
furnishing complete 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. II is doing wonders for
Dyspeptics, curing eases If Debility, Emac-
alton, Nervous Decline, and Dispcptic 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.
SCIE'NTIFIC EVIDENCE
Baron Lirbig in his celebrated work on
Animal Chemistry, says "An artificial di
"rstive fiuid, analogous to the gastric Juice.
may he readily prepared from the mucous
membrane OF The stomach of the calf. in
which various articles of food, rs meat and
eggs, viii be softencd changed and digested,
Just IN the same manner as they would be
in the human stomach"
Dr. Combc, in his valuable WRITINGS on tbe
PHYSIOLOGY of Digest n," observes that 81
dImlnution of the ducq quantity of the gos.
tnc juice is prominent and all prevailing
cause of Dyspepsia; and he states that " n
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"
Dr. Graham, author Of the famous works
on Vegetable Diet" says: at is remark
aole TACT In physiology, that the stomachs of
ahi'nhis' maceratcd in water, impart to the
