ESMACE or COFFEE.
A BOUT two years ago a new discovery
**wns made in Europe, consisting of a
substitute for the ordinary atore coffee, called
Essence of Coflee, which has gone into gen
eral use with astonishing rapidity, not only
among the poorer classes, wno at once dis
pensed wilh the use of the celebrated Chick
ory Coffee, but is now in general use in tho
wealthiest families and the first hotels, and
is highly recommended by the medical fac
ulty.
It is extracted from pure, wholesome veg
etables, arid excels all similar preparations
that have ever been offered to the public,
either in this country or in Europe. Its su
perior quality has already been attested to in
the cities by some of the most eminent phys
icians, and a number of the most distinguish
ed of the clerav and other highly respectable
citizens. Coffee made from this essence ac
cording to lite prescription obtains a more
delicious and pleasant favor than the com
mon store coffee, and is certainly more
wholesome, especially for persons in deli
cate health, which will be admitted by eve
ry physician who will take (lie pains to test {
the natuto and properties of this essenco.
One paper costing only 12J out., is equal
to four pounds of store coffee, will be bright
and clear without the application of any
other ingredient io clarity or settle it. The
public aro therefore invited to give this es
sence at least a trial before they condemn it.
A respectable merchant of Luzerne coun
ty in writing of itsajs:
"My customers have been using of the
above Essence for some months past with
general satisfaction ; and Ido not hesitalo
to recommend it to tho public.

Wilcox streets, and Misa Chiiatinna Sands,
Beach atrecc below Spruce afreet, < n the Bchuyl
kill. Theae two persona have been snatched
from the very jaws of the destroyer through 'he
agency of that moat potent of all medicines,
DR. CULLENS INDIAN VEGETABLE
PANACEA.
Dr CaHen's Panacea is the orily cartain cure
foi Scrofula or King's ISvil, Tetter, Erysipelas,
Old Borea and Uloers, Mercurial Diseases, and all
other affestions, cutaneous 01 otherwise, arising
from impurities of the blood.
fn the extraordinary cure ef Mr. Brooke, peo
ple who visit him, hold up their bands in as
tonishment, that A*X medicine could have ar
rested ma disease—then go away resolved to re
commend J)r Cullen'a Indian Vegetable Pana
cea to every one they hear of who has need of a
purifying medicine.
So with Christiana Sands—her cure of Scrof
ulous sore throat was quite as extraordinary as
Mr. Brooks', when we reflect that from the dis
eaaa her tea er coffee would frequently pass out
of her earn, when attempting to drink, [Bee
her certificate/)
The people are beginning to understand, too
that tbe various Syrups of Sanaparilla are little
better than molasses, and that it ia madness to
throw away money on articles which, under the
most ftvorablo circumstances, do not produce
any impression on the system until several gal
ons have been swallowed. One bottle of Ur.
Culleu's Panacea seldom fails to produce con
viction in the minds of patients that a radical
cure is certain.
Thus hof, {io necessary, an afly to medi
cine.] springs up at the outset, and the patient
w cured before any other preparation could have
made the slightest impression upon the disease I
In fact, the twolve ounce bottles of Dt. Cul
len'a Panacea, compared with the pint and quart
bottles of other purifiers, are valuable about in
the proportion of gold to copper. Those who
w oule prefer a penny to a half eagle, on accoun
of its size, would make a poor selection to sat
ihe least.
Sarsaparilla a good pontic:! Dr. Cuflcn's
Panacea contains its oxtract in its most concc-i*
tralrd form. Added to this are other extracts,
more active and poweiful, and which efli-ct ill
combination with tbe Uarsaparillo, what the Ist
ter article, or combined with ihe most powerfn
poisons, cannot alone accomplish.
It has cured where everything else liad failed
and this in a multitude of cases—not in Rutope
or in the moon, (where so muny great cures
have been performed.) hut ill Philadelphia and
other palta of the union. And he it distinctly
understood that wo do not obtain our extracts by
"holing 400 gallons down to one," it being
known to oveiy druggist's apprentice lhal boiling
destioye the essential virtues of medicinal plants

THE TRUE DIGESTIVE FLUID,
OR
ISa
A Grent Dyspepsia curer, Prepared frcfn
RENNET, or the fourth Stomach of the Ox,
after directions of Baron Liebig, the great
Physiological Chemist, BY J. 8. Houghton,
M. 0., Nv.ll, North Eighth Streot, Phila
delphia, Pa.
This is a truly wonderful remedy for Tndi
gestion, Dyspepsia, Jaudice. Lirer Com
plaint, Constipation, and Debility, Curing
after Nature's own method, by Nature's own
agent, the Gastric Juice.
t y Half a spoonlul of this Fluid, infused
in water, will digest or dissolve, Five Poundi
of Roast Serf 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 ol health, railed the Gastrio
Juice. This flujfi is the Great solvent of the
Food, the Purifying, Preserving, and Stimula
ting Agent of the stomach and inteostinee.
Without it there will he no digestion,—no
conversion of food into blood, and no nu
trition of thfe body; brrt rather a foul, torpid,
painf'il, and destructive condition of the
whole digestive apparatus. A weak, half
dead, or injured stomach produces no good
Gastric Juice, and hence the dis
ress and debility which pr.rtJ.
PursiN ASU RENNET.— Pepsin is the ehiv
element, or great Digesting Principle of tho
Gastric Juice. It is found in great abun
dance in the solid parts of the human stom
ach alter deith, and sometimes cause® the
stomach to digest itself, or eat itself up. ft
is also found in the stomach of animals, a*
the ox, calf, &c. It is the material used by
farmers in makirg cheese, called Rennet,
the effect of which has long been the spe
cial wonder of the dairy. The curdling of
milk is the first process of digestion. Hen
net possesses astonishing power. The stom
ach of a calf will curdle nearly one thdu
sand times its own weight of milk. Baro
Liebig states that, 'One part of Pepsin dm
solved in sixty thousand parts of water, wil
digest meat and other food." Diseased
stomachs produce no good Gastric Juice
Rennet or Pepsin. To show that this want
may be perfectly supplied, we quote the
following
SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE!
BAHON LIEDIU, in his celebrated work on
nimal Chemistry, sii ys : "An Artificial Di
estive Fluid aualago us to the Gastric Juice,
may be readily prepared from the nucous
gmembrane of the Blomach of the Call,
which various articles of food, as meat anil
eggs' will be softened, changed, and diges
ted, Just in the same manner as they would
be in the human stomach."
Dr. Pereira in his famous treatise on
"Food and Diet," published by Fowlers &
Wells, New York, page 35. stales the same
great fact, and describes the method of prep
aration. There are few higher authoritiea
than Dr. Tereira.
Dr Combe, in .his valuable writings on
ihe "Physiology of Digestion," observe
hnt "a diminution of the due quantity o
he Gastric Juice is a prominent and all pre
ailing cause of Dyspepsiaand he slate,
that "u distinguished professor of medicine
in London, who was severely afflicted wi h
this complaint finding every thing: else to
fail, had recourse to the Gastric Juice, ob
tained from the stomach of living animals
which proved completely successlul."
Dr. Graham, author of the famous work
on "Vegetable Diet," says : "it is a remar
kablo fact in physiology, that the stomachs
of animuls, macerated in water, impart to
the fluid the properly of dissolving various
articles of food, and of effecting a kind of
artificial digestion of them iu no wise dif
ferent from the natural digestive process."
Dr. Simon's great work, the "Chemistry
of Man," (Lea & Blani-hard, Phila., 18-fti,
pp. 321-2): "The discovery of PEPSIN
lo ms a new era in the chemical history of
Di gestion. From recent experiments we
know that food is dissolved us rapidly in an
artificial digestive fluid, prepared from Pep
sin, as it is in the natural Gastric Juice it
sell."
Professor Dunglison of the Jefferson Col
lege, Philadelphia, in his great work on Hu
man Physiology, devotes more than fifty
pages 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
knowr.. "In all cases," he says, "digestion
occurred as perfectly in the artificial as the
natural digestions."
As a DVSI'KPSIA CUREU, Dr Houghton #
preparation of Pepsin has produced the
most marvellous effects, curing cases of De
bility, Emaciation, Nervous Decline, and
dispeptic Consumption, supposed to be on
the very verge of the grave. It is imposs
ble lo give the details of cases in the limit
of this advertisement —but authenticate
certificates have been of more than two hun
dred Rcmnrlcable Cures, in Philadelphia, Net#
York, and Boston alone. These were
nearly all desperato cases, and the euro#
were not only rapid and wonderful, but per
manent.
It is a great Nervous Antidote, and par
ticularly useful for tendency to billious dis
order, Liver Complaint, Fever and Ague, or
badly treated Fever and Ague, and tho ev
il effects of Quinine, Mercury , and other drug
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.

form of Old Stomach Complaints which no

NQ matter how bad they may be, it givee
Instant Relief I A single dose removes als
the unpleasant symptoms, and it only needs
