ache of the Ok, after directions from Baron
Liebig, the great Physiological Chemist, BY
J. 8. Houghton, NJ. d., Philadelphia, Pa.
This is truly wonderful remedy for in
digestion, Dyspepsia, Jaundice, Liver Com
pluint, Constipation and Debility, curing af.
ter Natures own agent, tho Gastric Juice.
W Halfa teaopoouful 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-
gesting Principle Of the Gastric Juice-the
Solvent of the food, the Purifying, Preserv-
ing and stimulating agent of the stomach and
intestines. Ii is extracted from the digestive
stomach of the 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 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: "An artificial di-
gestive fluid, analogous to tho gastric Juice,
may be readily prepared from the mucous
membrane of the stomach of the calf in
which various articles of food, as meat and
eggs, will be softened changed and digcstcd,
just IN the same manner as they would be
in the human stomach"
DR.. Combc, ia his valuable writings ON the
Physiology Of Digcei H." observes that "a
dimlnution Of the dueq quantity of the gas
tric juice is prominent and all prevailing
cause OF Dyspepsia; and he states that " a
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, macernted in water, impart to the
fluid the property of dissolving various arti-
cles of food, and of effecting n kind Of arti6-
cidl digestion of them in no wise different
from the natural digestive process"

AS Il DYSPEPSIA CURE.
DIR. Houghton's Pepsin has produced the
most nnarrelous effects, in curing cases of de-
bility, emaciation, nervous decline, aud dys.
Peptic consumption. 1t isimpossibie to give
the details of cases in the limits of this nd
yertiscment; but authenticated certificates
have been given Of more than t,co hundre3
remdrndble cures in Philadelphia, New York,
ana boston alone. These were nearly all
uesPera'e cases, ana the cures were not only
rapid and wonderful, but permanent.
IL Is great nervous a,,ie.ote, and particu-
larly useful for tendency to bilious disorder
liver complaint, fever and ague, or badly trcn.
ted fever and ague, and the evil effects of
quinine, mcrcury, and other drugs upon tie
digestive organs, after long sickness. Al.

OLD STOMACH COMPLAINTS.
There is no form of old stomach co,nplain,s
which 1t does not seem TO reach and remove
at once. No matter how bad they NAV be.
IL gives instdm relief! A single dose re.
moves all unpleasant symptoms; and, il only

OF the blood, hcaviness, lowness of spirits,
despondency, tendency to insanity, suicide
&c, &c.
Dr. Houghton's Pepsin is sold by nearly
all the dealers in fine drugs, and popular med
icines throughout the United STATES. Il il
prepared in powder and fluid form, and in
pr scription walls for the use of physicians,
Private circulars for the use of physicians.
may be obtained of Dr. 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 1t 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.
