Another Scientific Wonder!
OREAT OURE FOR
DYSPEPSIA!
DR. J. S. HOUGHTON'S.

'l'll I: TRUE
DIGESTIVE FLUID,
OR, GASTRIC JUICE.
Prepared from Bennet, or the fourth
stomach of the ox, after directions of Baron
Liebig, the great Physiological Chemist, by J. S.
Houghton, M. D. Philadelphia, Pa.
This is a truly wonderful remedy for Indigestion,
Dyspepsia, Jaundice, Liver Complaint, Consti
pation, and Debility, Curing after Nature's own
Method, by Nature's own Agent, the Gastric
_ . _
Half a teaspoonful of PEPSIN, infused in wa
ter, will digest or dissolve, Five Pounds of Roast
Beef in about two hours, out of the stomach.
PEPSIN is the chief' element, or Great Digest
ing Principle of the Gastric Juice—the Solvent *-
the Food, the Purifing, Preserving, and Samba,'
tong Agent of the Stomach and Intestines. It
is extracted from the Digestive Stomach of the
ix, thus forming on Artificial Digestive Fluid,
• iecisely like the natural Gastric Juice in its
Chemical powers, and furnishing a Complete and
Perfect Substitute for it. Ito the aid of this
preparation, thcp,iiiis aiel evils of Indigestion and
Dyspepsia are removed. just as they would be by
a healthy Stomach. It is doing wonders for Dys
peptics, curing cases of Debility, Emaciation, Ner
vous Decline, and Dyspeptic Consumption, sup
posed to be on the verge of thegrave. The
Scientific Evidence upon nhich it is based, is in
the highest degree Curious wnl RClllaVkable.
SCI ENTFIC EVIDENCE!
BARON LEWD; in his celebrated work on
Animal Chemistry, says: "An Artilirial Diges
tive Fluid, analogous to the Gastric Juice, may
be readily prepared from the meat and eggs, will
be softened, change* und digested, just its the
same manner as they would lie in the human
stomach."
Dr. COMBE, in his valuable writings on the
" Physiotogy of Digestion," observes that '•
diniikution of the due tilt mtity of the Gastric
Juice is a prominent and all prevailing cause tit
Dyspepsia ;" and he states tlt•it •• a ditinguislied
prote , s, ofnicil eine in London, who was severe
ly atliteted with this complaint, finding everything
else to Mil, had recourse to the Gastric Juice, ob
tained from the stomachs of living animals, which
proved musty's:fly successful." •
1)r. GRAHAM, author of the famous works
on "Vega:One Diet„" says : "It is a remarkable
fart in 'physiology, that the ',mach,. of animals,
indeerated nt settler, impart to the fluid the prop
erty Of ,lo4Aulving various articles of tuud,untl of

Blackwood, after it has been issued bp Messrs.

of that Magazine may always rely on having the
earliest reading of these fascinating tales.
These Reprints have now been in succdssful
their
in this country tbr twenty . years, and
their circulation is constantly on the increase not
withstanding the competition they encountered
from American periodicals of a similar class and
from numerous Eclectics and Magazines made up
of selections from foreign periodicals. This fact
shows clearly the high estimation in which they
are held by the intelligent reading public, and
anords n guarantee that they are established on a
firm basis, and will be continued without iuterrup-

Oh greenly and fair in the lands of the sun,
The vines of the gourd and rick melon run,
And the rock, and the tree, and the cottage enfold,
With broad lands of greenness, end blossoms of
gold,
Like that which o'er Ninevales prophet once grew,
While he waited to know that its warning was true,
And longed for the storm-cloud, and listened in
For the rush of the whirl-wind and red-fire ruin,
On the banks of the Kenil the dark Spanish maid

Comes up with the fruits of the tangled sine laden,
And the Creole of Cuba laughs out to behold,
Thro' orange leaves shining, the broad spheres of
gold ;
Yet with dearer delight from his home in me 'North,
On the fields of the harvest, the yankee looks forth,
When crook necks are coiling and yellow fruit

From North and from South, come the pilgrim

When the care-wearied scan seeks his mother

When wild ugly faces were carved in its skin,

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH.
BLENNERHASSET.—The following
article; copied from the Louisville Register,
was written by a gentleman," says that
paper, ‘• of high respectability," who had
an opportunity of becoming acquainted with
the facts related in his communications :
Who was Blennerhassetl and what has
become of him ? Having lately seen iu the
New York and Philadelphia papers, sever
al fictitious notices of this celebrated per
sonage, is the apology which the writer of
this article offers for giving what he be
lieves to be the true history of this man's
career and final exit from the troubles of
this world—which will be much easier to
do than highly colored pictures of things
which neves existed except in the fancy of
some novel reader. The authority for the
facts herein disclosed by the writer, is be
lieved to be authentic, and of the highest
character. In the first place, who was
Blennerhasset ? In answer to this ques
tion our information is that it was an as
sumed name by an individual whose true
name was Lewis Carr, who was born in Ire
land, has always been stated. His family
were highly respectable, and an elder
brother filled the station of secretary to
the Governor of Calcutta, in the East In
dies, to which place the young Lewis went
as ass ensign in the engineer department,
where he remained about two years, in
which time he was engaged in several
scrapes and intrigues, which finally compel
led him to resign his commission, and seek
a place of refuge in the city of Kingston,
in the Island of Jamaica where he read
law and commenced the practice, and also
engaged in merchandizing, by which means,
and a secret connection with the buccan
users and pirates who hovered around the
West Indies Islands and on the coast of
Mexico, he amassed a splendid fortune,
which he spent with equal profusion.
While employed in this business, he fre
quently visited Mexico, and became so
',painted with many of the leading men
who were preparing the way foe a revolu
tion, which Carr foresaw must break out
in a short time, and being a bold, unprin
cipled foreigner, he was perpetually enga
ged in difficulties of one kind or another,
until shortly before he came to the Uni
ted States, an intrigue with the wife of one
of the wealthy citizens of Kingston, made
that place too hot for him and he sold out
his property and came to the United States.
He landed at New Orleans, and went thence
to Louisville, Kentucky, where, or in the
section, ho purchased some property, and fi
nally located himself on the celebrated isl
and in the Ohio river, near Mariatta. The
move took place about the year 1803 or
1804. When he reached New Orleans he
assumed the name of Blenneithasset. The
beautiful and accomplished lady who ac
companied and lived with Ishii was not his
wife. She was young, and had many fas
cinating accomplishments, which made her
snore worthy of Blennerlutsset than he was
of her. Col. Burr first saw Blennerhasset
early in the year 1805, and instead of Burr
seducing hint, there can be no doubts that
Col. Burr received from him such a dis
position for revolution, as seduced him in
to the project of invading it; and the ques
tion as to whom should be the great man
was ono reserved by Lewis Carr [Blenner
basset] until future events should devel
ops themselves, as Carr always declares to
his friends that he intended Col. Burr as
the chief of the supreme command in Mexi
co.
The movements of Col. Burr and Blen
nerhasset in the United States,
during the
year 1805 and 6, are already known, and
of course need not bo detailed in this
statement.
After the projected invasion of Mexico
had failed, and Blenuerhasset had broken
up at this island, he returned to New Or
leans, where he loft the lady who had been
his companion, and he embarked for the
Island of New Providence, one of the Ba
hamas in the West Indies, and settled at
Nassua, its capital, and recommenced tho
practice of law. In a short time he ob
tained'a lucrative practice, and married a
lady of one of the most reapcotable fami
lies of that place, and was soon after dis
turbed by a visit from his Blenuerhasset
Island companion, who gave hint much
