PEPSIN.


The true Di 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. ;. Houghton, M. d., Philadelphia, Pa.
This is truly wonderful remedy for in
digestion, Dyspepsia, Jaundice, Liver COM
plmnt, Constipation and Debility, curing af-
ter Natures own agent, the Gastric Juice.
eB Halfa teaspoonfu 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 ofthe OK, thus forming an artificial
digestive fluid, precisely like the natural
Gastric Juice in its Chemical powers, and
furnishing a 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 a
healthy stomach. II 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 Spon
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, as meat and
eggs, will be softened changed and digested,
just IN the same manner as they would be
in the human stomach"
DIR. Combr, in his valuable writings on the
"Physiology of Digusii H." observes that sa
diminution Of the duequantity of the gas
tric Juice is prominent and all prevailing
cause of Dyspepsia; and he states that Z" 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"
DIR. Graham, author of the famous works
on "Ncgotablc Diet" says at il n remark
| able fact in physiology, that the stomachs of
animals, maccratcu in water, impart to the
6uid the property of dissoIving various arti-
cles of food, and of clfecting Kind of ar,if-
ciai digestion of them in no wise different
from the natural digestive process

as Il DYSPEPSIA CURE,
DIR. Houghton's Pepsin has produced the
most mdrue!ous effects, in curing cases Of de-
biiity, emaciation, nervous decline, aud dys
peptic consumption. IL isimpossibie to give
the details Of cases in the limits of this ad-
vertisement; but authenticated certificates
have been given Of more than foo 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 STONdCH COMPLAINTS.
There is no form of old stomach co,nplaiuts
which 1t does not seem TO reaci, and remove
at once. No matter how bud they may be-
IL gives instant relief! a single dose re-
moves all unpleasant symptoms; and, il only
needs to be repeated for a short time TO make
these good effects permanent. Purity Of
body and rigor ofblooR follow at once. Il il
particularly excellent in cases of nausea. yom-
iung, cramps, soreness of the pit of the
stomach, distress after eating, low, cold state

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. n Ia
prepared in powder and fluid form, and in
pr, scription vials 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 II is not secret remedv, no OBJ.
jections against its use can be raised by phsi-
clans in respectable standing and regular
practice. Price one dollar per bottle.
