Pepsln is the chief element, or Great Di-
gesting Principle of the Gastric Juice-the
Solvent of the food, the Purifying, Preserv-
ing 80" stimulating agent of the stomach and
ntestlnes. IL is extracted from the digestive
stomach of the OK, thus forming an artificial
digestive fluid, precisely like the natural
Snstric Juice in its Chemical powers, and
furnishing complete and perfect substitute
Ior IL. by the aid of this preparation, the
pains and evils of Indigestion and Dyspepsia
are removed, Just as they would be by n
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 upon
which il is based, is in the highest de@rce
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 digcsted.
Just IN the same manner as they would be
in the human stomach"
DIR. Combr, in his valuable writings on the
"Physiology of Digcsr ii H." observes that "a
dlmlnution of the duCQuanirr Of the II. y
tric Julcc Is prominent and all PREVAILING
cause OF Dyspepsia; and he states that :,
distinguished Professor of Medicine in on
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 hc icrtrctiy SEcr.asf"L"
DIR. Graham. author Of the famous wo,ks
on Vegetable Diet" says: 1T is u remark
able fact in physiology, that the stom.chs of
animals, maccrttrd in water, mparl 10 the
fluid the property of dissolving yarious r,i.
cles of food, and of cilcctinga kind of qr,,f.
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 mdrretous effects, in curing cases of de.
billty, emaciation, nervous decline, aud dys.
peptic consumption. 1t isimpossibic to give
