Improved Chin Pumps
A LLE STOW N 1,4:111011 COUNTY
The undersigned takes this method to in
form the public generally, that he continues
to manufacture the new and Improved
Chain Pumps with Iron Curb,
for which he has just got out a new paters
and is now prepared to fill orders for same.
A constantly increasing demand for these
Pumps, resulting in part from the great
improvements we have lately effected in
their construction, affords, substantial evi
dence of their superior adaptation to the pub
lic wants. We, therefore, nave no hesita
tion in saying tlipt they give better satis
faction to purchasers, are more economical,
and do their work more rapidly and with
less expenditure of labor than any other
Pumps in use. Their operation gives mo
tion to the water, and thus effectually pre
vents it from becoming stagnant and impure.
They are made so as to be readily put in
operation, even by experienced hands
can be put together at the Factory or be
sent away in parts, as customers prefer ;
and they can be easily and cheaply trans
ported to any part of the country.
He trusts the low prices for which he
oilers his Pumps, will be an inducement to
those who want the article to give him a call.

.2N aI?TIFICI.,2I, DIGESTIVE
VluiA, or Gastric Suitel
A GREAT DISPEPSIA CURER i
Prepared from Rennet, or the fourth Stomach
of the Ox, after directions of Baron Lie
big, the great Physiolo g ical Chemist, by
.1. S. Houghton. M. D., No. 11, North
Eighth Street, Philadelphia', Pa.
This is a truly wonderful remedy for In
digestion, Dyspepsia, Jaundice, Liver
Complaint, Constipation, and Debility
curing after Nature's own method, by
Nature's own agent, the Gastric Juice.
tlrellalf a teaspoonful of this Fluid, infused
in water, will digest or dissolve, Five
Pounds of Roast Beef in about two hours,
out of the stomach.
Digestion:—Pigestion , is chiefly per
formed in the stoinach by the aid of a fluid .
which freely exudes from the inner coat of
that organ, when in a state of health, called l
the Gastric Juice. This fluid is the Great
Sovent .of the Food, the Purifying, Preserv:
ing, and Stimuating Agent of the stomach
and intestines. Without it there will be no
digestion —7 no conversion of food into blood,
and no nutrition of the body ; but rather rt
foul, torpid, painful, and destructiw cond i-•
tion of the whoa digestive apparatus. A
weak, haf dead, or inju red stomach produ
ces no good Gastric Juice, and hence the
_disease, distress and debiity - which ensue.
Pepsin and Bennet.—Pepsin is the chief
element, or great digesting principle of the
Gastric Juice. It is found in great abun
{ dance in the so id parts of the human sto- •
rmach after death, and sometimes causes the
stomach to digest itself, or eat itself up. It
is also found in the stomach of animals, as
the ox, calf, &c. It is the material used by
farmers in making cheese, called Rennet,.
the eflbct of which has long been the spe
cial wonder of ^the dairy. The curdling of
mik is the first process of digestion. Ren
net possesses astonishing power. The sto-•
mach of a calf will curdle nearly one thou--
sand times its own weight of milk. BUMP"
Udebig states that, "One part of Pepsin
dissolved in sixty thousand parts of water,
digest Meat and other food." Diseased
stomachs produce no good Gastric Juice,
Rennet_or Pepsin. To show that this want
may be perfectly sup! lied, ,we quote the
following
Scientific Eridrner!—Baroti Liehig, in
his celebrated work on Animal Chemistry.,
says: "An Artificial Digestive Fluid may
be readily prepared from the mucous mem
brane of the stomach of the Calf, in which
various articles of fodd, as !neat and
will be softened, changed, and digested,just •
iu the sanm manner as they would be in the
h Ulllllll stomach."
Dr. Pereira, in his famous treatise on
"Food and Diet," published by Wilson &.
Co., New York, page 35, states the same
great fact, and describes the method of pre
