ANOTHER SCIENTIFIC WONDER!
IP M IP sti s? 8
THE TRUE DIGESTIVE FLUID,
OR
A Great Dyspepsia curer, Prepared from
RENNET, or the fourth Stomach of the Ox,
after directions of Baron Liebig, the great
Physiological Chemist, by J. 8. Houghton,
Al. D., No. 11, North Eighth Street, Phila
delphia, Pa.
This is a truly wonderful remedy far Indi
gestion, Dyspepsia, Jaudire, l.iv'o|gAQV -
plaint, Constipation, and Debility. "Curing
after Nature's own method, by Nature's own
agent, the Gastric Juice.
t3F* Half a spoonlul of this Fluid, infused
in water, will digest or dissolve, Five Pounds
of Roast Reef in about two hours, • out of the
stomach.
DIGESTION.
Digestion is Chiefly performed in the
stomach by the aid of a fluid which freely
exudes from the inner coat of that organ,
when in a state ot fiaalth, called the Gastric
Juice. This fluid solvent of the
Food, the Purifying, Pfefcrving, and Stimula
ting Agent of the stomach and intonstines.
Without it there wjll be no digestion,—no
conversion of food into blood, and no nu
trition of the body; but rather a foul, torpid,
painful, and destructive condition of the
whole digestive apparatus. A weak, half
dead, or itijused stomach produces no good
Gastrio Juice; and hence the disease, dis
tress and debnity which ensue.
REPSIN' AMD RENNET, —Pepsin is the chief
element, orgreat Digesting Principle of the
Gastric Jursi£& T lt is found in great abun
dance in tlio solid parts of the human storrv
acli after death, anil sometimes causes the
stomach tothgest itself, or eat i<self up. It
is also fotfa'il in the stomach of animals, as
the ox, calf, &e. It is the material used by
farmers in making cheese, called Rennet,
the effect of which has long been the spe
cial wqnder of the dairy. The' curdliug of
millt is the first process of digestion, lien
net possesses astonishing power. The stom
ach'of a calf will cardie nearly one thou
sand times its own weight of milk. Baron
Liebig slates that, 'One part of Pepsin 'dis
solved in sixty thousand parts of water, will
digest meat and other food." Diseased
stomachs produce 110 good Gastric Juice
Rennet or i"epsin. To show that this win!
may be pertectly supplied, we quote the
following
SCIEIVTIFIC EVIDENCE!
BARON LIEBIG, in Lis celebrated work on
Animal Chemistrr, says: "An Artificial Di
gestive Fluid analagons to the Gastric Juice,
may be readily prepu red from the nucous
membrane of the Btormnch of the Call, in
which various articles of food, as meat and
eggsj will be softened, c hanged, and diges
ted, just in the same maimer as they would
be in the human stomach.."
Dr. Pereira, in his fai nous trealiso on
"Food and Diet," published by Fowlers &
Wells, New York, page 35. states the same
great fact, and describes the method of prep
aration. There are few liig.her authorities
than Dr. Pereira.
Dr Combe, in .his valuable writings on
the "Physiology of Digestion," observes
that "a diminution of the dut' quantity of
the Gastric Juice is a prominent ;uid all-pre
vailing cause of Dyspepsia;" and he states
that "a distinguished professor of medicine
in London, who was severely atßicled with
this complaint, finding every thin g else to
fail, had recourse to the Gastric Juice, ob
tained from the stomach of living animals,
which proved completely successlul."
Dr. Graham, author ot the famous works
on "Vegetable Diet," says: "it is a remar
kable fact in physiology, that the 6loriiac'hs
of animals, macerated in water, impart i'o
the fluid the property of dissolving variop s
articles of food, and of effecting a kind of
artificial digestion of them in no wise dif
ferent from the natural digestive process."
Dr. Simon's great work, the "Chemistry
of Man," (Lea & Blanchard, Phila.. 1846,
pp. 321-2): "The discovery of PEPSIN
forms a new era in the chemical history of
Digestion. From recent experiments we
know that food is dissolved as rapidly in an
artificial digestive fluid, prepared from Pep
sin, as it is in the natural Gastric Juice it
self."
Professor Dunglison of the Jefferson Col
lege, Philadelphia, in his great work on Hu
man Physiology, devotes more than fifty
niq;es to an examination of this subject.
His experiments with Dr Beaumont, on the
Gastric Juice, obtained from the living hu
man stomach and from animals are well
known. "In all cases," he "digestion
occurred as perfectly in the artificial as the
natural digestions."
As a DYSPEPSIA CURF.R, Dr Houghton's
preparation of Pepsin has produced the'
most marvellous effects, curing cases of De
bility, Emaciation, Nervous Decline, and
Dyspeptic Consumption, supposed to bo on
the very verge of the grave. It is impossi
ble to give the details of cases in the limits
or 1 this advertisement—but authenticated
certificates have been of more than two hun
dred Remarkable Cures, in Philadelphia, New
York, and Boston alone. These were
nearly all desperate cases, and the cures
were not only rapid and wonderful, but per
manent. /
It is a great Nervous Antidote, and par
ticularly useful for tendency to biltious dis
order, Liver Complaint, Fever and Ague, or
badly treated Fever and Ague, and tne evil
effects of Quinine, Mercury, and other drugs
upon the Digestive organs, after a long sick
ness. Also, for excess in eating, and the
too free use of ardent spirits. It almost rec
onciles Health with Intemperance.
OLD STOMACH COMPLAINTS. —There is no
form of Old Stomach Complaints which it
does not seem to reach and remove at once.
No matter how bad they may be, it gives
Instant Relief I A single dose removes all
the unpleasant symptoms, and it only needs
to be repeated, for a short time, to make
these good effects pupnanent. Parity of
Blood and Vigor of Boqy, follow at once. It
is particularly excellent m coses of Nausea.
Vomiting, Cramps, Soreness of tho pit ol
the Stomach, distress after eating, low, cold,
state of the Blood, Heavir.ess, Lowness of

1)11. C ULLEN'S INDIAN VEGETABLE
PANACEA.
l)r Oullen'a Panacea ia the only cartain cure
foi Scrofula or King's Evil.'Tett or. Erysipelas,
Old Sorea and Ulcers, Mereuffal Uiaeaaes, end all
other affeationa, cutaneous or otherwise, arising
from impurities of the blood.
In the extraordinary cure of Mr. Brooks, peo
ple who visit bim, hold up their hands in as
tonishment, that A* v medicine could have ar
rested ma disease'—then go uwny rcaolved to re
commend Ur Cullen'a Indian Vegetable Pana
cea to every one they hear of who has need of a
purifying medicine,
So with Christiana Sands—brr cuje of Scrof
ulous sore throat was quite as extraordinary as
Mr. Brooks', when wo reflect that from the dis
ease her tea or cofl'eo would frequently pass out
of her ears, when attempting to drink, [See
her certificate.]
The people are beginning to understand, 100,
that tho various Syrups of Saiiapurilla arc little
better than niulasaca, and that it is madness' to
throw avray money on articles which, under the
most fayorahio rircum tancea, do not produce
any impression on the system until several gal
lons have been swallowed. 000 bottle of Dr.
Cullen'a Panacea seldom fails to produce con
viction in the minds of patients that a radical
cure ia certain.
Thus Rope, [lO necessary, an ally to medi
cine.] springs up at the outset, and the patient
is cured before any other preparation could have
made tho slightest impression upon the disease !
In fact, thetwolvo ounce bottles of Dr. Cul
len's Panacoa, compared with the pint and quart
bottles of other purifiers, arc valuable about in
the proportion of gold to copper. Those who
woule prefer a penny to a half eaglu, on account
of its size, would inuke a poor selection to say
the least.
Sarsaparilfa a good purifier! Dr. Cullen'a
Panacea contains its extract in its most concen
trated form. Added to this are other extracts,
more active and powerful, and which effect in
combination with the Horsaparilla, what the lat
ter article, or oomhined with iho most powerful
|>oiaons, cannot alone accomplish.
It has cured where everything else had failed
and this in a multitude of cases—not in Europe
Or in the moon, (where so many great cure!
hflve been performed,) but in Philadelphia and
other pafts of the union. And be it distinctly
understood that we do not obtain our extracts by
"holing 400 gallons down to one," it being
known to every druggist's apprentice that boiling
destroys the essential virtues of mcdiciuai plants
and roots. ,

YSTTo the citizens of Columbia County
Read what otheis say of the virtues of
Dr. Ketler's Cordial A Carmiiuative.
For the speedy cure of Diarrhoea, Dysen- ■
tery, Cholars Infantum, Cholera Morbus, all
summer complaints, Cholic, Flatulency, and
all derangements of the slomaoh and bow
els from teething, &c.
Thousands dio annually with diseases of
tho stomach and bowels from neglect. A
mong the numerous remedies both public &
private, teeominendcd for tho above diseases
pone are equal to the Cordial. Years ol ex
perience and trials made with it in hundreds
of cases, the voluntary tesli
mony flora physicians and others, gives it a
character not to ho unheeded by-those cher
ishing the welfare pf themselves and chil
ilren. Speedily stlbdutilg tho P a ' n a . n . ( '
flamnialory tendency, allaying irritability ot
the stomach, and constraining unhealthy o
vactialions, its operation is prompt and ef
fectual.
That it will cure, and has cured, tho worst
form of disease of the stomach and bowels,
read the following evidence :
Philadelphia, June 1, 1849.
Dr. J. N. Kceler —l received your note this
morning asking for information as to the dis
tribution I made of the package of cordial
you put into my possession while in com
iriund of tbe U. States transport during the
Mexican war According to your direction a
part was distributed in Vera Cruz, tho other
I kept for the use of my seamen and others
on board, beliving I should have use for it,
as I had on board frequentlj from one to
three hundred persons, and that many when
leaving Mexico would be on tho sick list.—
Such was the fact, for Dysentery and Diarr
hoea extensively prevailed ; I used tho cor
dial freely, and in not a single instance do I
recollect of its havir.g failed to cure. My
own crew would often be attacked with Di
arrhma, Dysenlerry, &c. peculiar to nearly
all after getting on shore and eating fruit and
vegetables : in all such cases tho cordial did
not fail to cure speedily
When in New Orleans, a fribnd informed
tne of a Philadelphia gentleman, S Church
man Esq, who was sick with the Dysentery,
and despaired of by his doctor I mention
ed having a bottle or so of your cordial I
I sent it to him, and in a few days I had the
pleasure of seeing him well, I can give yon
many names and testimonials of the efficacy
of your cordial if necessary. I have given
it to one ship master of this port, in particu
lar Capt Whipple, ship Monongahelu, and lie
informed me ho would not be without it I
think it is the safest and best medicine that f
have ever known to be used in affections of
the stomach and bowels.
I remain yours respectfully,
D I) Wilcox, 288 S Eighth street
Davisville, Bucks co, Aug 25, 1847
Dear Sir—l am now prepared to leconi
mend your cordial from having used it with
success in several instances, nml I am now
trying your Savnparilla Panacea in a case of
protracted debility, attended with cough, ap
parently produced in tho young lady by her
'outgrowing her strength,' to use a common
phraso. Yours, A EARLE, M D
From the Upland Union.
Wo nro as little disposed as most persons
to encourage appeals to law or medicine, but
with all the Jpgerdemain of the first, and the"
ignorance and quakery of tho last, appeals
must occasionally be made to both. Tho
excessive heat and the accompaning pro
ductions of the season are already producing
Diarrhma, Dysentery and > holera Infantum,
complaints which if not promptly relieved
produce great debility and frequent death.
From a knowledge of its beneficial effects,
we refer to l)r. Keeler's Cordial andCrrmin
alive," advertised in this paper. Dr. Keeler
is a physician of intelligence, skill, and large
practice, and if the remedios and commen
dations of medical authority aro to be de
pended on the adove named article will be
found useful in the complaints referred to.
CF" Also Dr. Keeler's Sarsaparilla, a med
icine of great efficacy in freeing the system
from all diseases arising from impurities of
the blood. In chronic diseases ol the chest,
stomach, liver and skin it is of great benefit.
Females suffering with nervous debility loss
of appetite, costivenoss, pains of tho chest,
functional obstructions will find a positive
cure in the Sarsaparilla. 13T See pamphlets.
Price sl.
All of the abovo celebrated and extensive
ly used medicines, are prepared and sold

For sale also by J. R. MOYER, Blooms
burg; Chalfant & Hughes, and Dr. J. A.
