ANOTHER SCIENTIFIC WONDER
GREAT CURE FOR
DYSPEPSIA.
DR.. ]. s. H0UGHTON' S
PEPSTN.

The true Digestive Fluid, or Gastric Juice
prepared from Rennet, or the fourth stom-
ache of the Ok, after directions from Baron
Liebig, the great Physiological Chemist, by
J. 8. Houghton, M. d., Philadelphia, Pa.
This is truly wonderful remedy for in
digestion, Dyspepsia, Jaundice, Liver Com
plant, Constipation and Debility, curing af-
ter Natures own agent, the Gastric Juice.
,W Halfa teaspoonful Of Pepsin, infns-
ed in water, Will digest or desolye Five
Pounds Of Rcast Beef, in about two hours,
out Of the stomach.
Pepsin is the chief element, or Great Di-
gesting Principle of the Gastric Juice--tbe
Solvent of the food, the Purifying, Preserv.
ing and stimulating agent of the stomach and
iDtestines. 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 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
healthy stomach. 1t is doing wonders for
Dyspeptics, curing cases of Debility, Emaci-
alton, Nervous Decline, and Dispeptc 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: "An artificial di-
gestive 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, MS meat and
eggs, will be softened changed and digested,
Just In the same manner rs they would be
in the human stomach"
Dr. Combc, in his valuable writings on the
Physiology of Digceii n," observes that "a
diminution Of the dueqnantity of the gas
tric juice is prominent and all prevailing
cause of Dyspepsia; " and he states that as
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 a remark
able fact in physiology, that the stomachs of
animals, macerated in water, impart TO the
fluid the property of dissolving various arti-
cles OF food, and Of effectiDg kind of artif-
ctdt digestion of them in no wise different
from the natural digestive process"

AS A DYSPEPSIA CURE.
Dr. Honghton's Pepsin has produced the
most marvellous effects, in curing cases of de-
biiity, emaciation, nervous decline. aud dys-
peptic consumption. IL is impossible 10 give
the details Of eases in the limits of this ad-
vertisement; but authenticated certificates
have been given Of more than t,co hundred
remarkable cures in Philadelphia, New York.
and Boston alone. These were nearly ali
desperate cases, and the cures were not only
rapid and wonderful, but permanent.

OLD stomach COMPLAINTS
There is no form Of old stomach complaints
which 1t does not seem to reach and remove
mt once. No matter how bad they NAV be-
II gives instant relief! A single dose re-
moves all unpleasant symptoms and. IL only
needs to be repeated for short time to make
these good effects permanent Purity of

particularly excellent in cases OF nausea, yon,.

stomach, distress after eating, low, cold state
of the blood, heaviness, lowness Of spirits
dependency, tendency to insanity, suicide
&C., &c.
DIR. Houghton's Pepsin is sold by nearly
all the dealers in fine drugs, and popular med
icines throughout the United States. Il ia
prepared in powder and fluid form, and In
prescription walls for the use of physicians
Private circulars for the use of physicians
may be obtained Of DIR. Houghton or his a.
gents, describing the whole process of pre-
paration, and giving the authorities upon
which the claims of this new remedy are
based. AS it Is not secret remedy, no OBJ
jections against its use can be raised by phsi.
clans In respectable standing and regular
practice. Price one dollar per bottle.
