VI  Mil  DIGESTIYUM 
(Registered  according  to  Act  of  Congress.) 
A  vinous  combination  of  Pepsin,  manufactured  by  a  recently  improved  process, 
made  vastly  more  active  and  efficient  than  any  hitherto  produced.  One  fluidounee 
ofPROCTEH'SVSNUM  DIGESTIYUM  ,  twenty  drops  of  muriatic 
acid,  and  tour  fluidounces  of  water,  maintained  at  the  temperature  of  100°  to  105° 
F.,  for  five  hours,  in  contact  with  600  grains  of  coagulated  albumen,  with  frequent 
agitation,  will  dissolve  at  least  500  grains  of  the  same.  This  teat  shows  its  diges- 
tive strength  to  be  about  six  times  that  of  the  ordinary  Liquid  Pepsin  of  Scheffer, 
and  is  in  direct  opposition  to  his  tests  of  ordinary  Wine  of  Pepsin.  (See  American 
Journal  of  Pharmacy,  March,  1870.) 
The  advantages  of  Procter's  Vinum  Digestivum  lie  in  the  presence  of  a  small 
amount  of  alcohol,  desirable  as  a  slight  stimulant,  and  the  extraordinary  digestive 
power  which  is  not  impaired  by  this  addition.  It  is  quite  palatable,  and  free  from 
the  excessive  acidity  of  Liquid  Pep3in.

bled to  offer  this  IMPROVED  PREPARATION  at  the  following  low  prices  :

Manufactures  by  his  improved  method  SACCHARATED  PEPSIN, 
which  has  proven  its  superiority  over  other  Pepsins  by  its  greater  strength,  its 
stability  and  uniformity,  and  by  its  almost  entire  tastelessness. 
BRIT  PEPSIN,  CONCENTRATED,  of  which  1  grain  digests 
from  125  to  150  grains  of  coagulated  albumen.  Particularly  recommended  to 
manufacturers. 
Premiums  were  awarded  to  the  above  preparations  at  the  International  Exposi- 
tion at  Vienna,  1873,  and  the  Centennial  Exposition  in  Philadelphia.

The  Centennial  Commission  awarded  us  a  premium  for  our  Licorice,  on  the  recommenda- 
4ion  of  the  Judges,  for  "  Its  cheapness,  as  compared  with  foreign  brauds  of  the  same  quality, 
its  purity  and  general  excellence  of  manufacture."
