out of the stomach
Pepsln 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
intestlncs. IL 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
Tor 1t. 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. 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 the gastric iuice.
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 softened changed and dicestcd,
Just IN the same manner as they would be
IN the human stomach"
Dr. Combr, in his valuable writings on the
Physiology of Digcsli IT," observes that "a
