THE FATNESS OF HEALTH.
How to attain it.

| looking to.
If you have always been thin, it doesn't fol-
low that you sick, but that you might be
healthier.
You might be fat and plump, and strong
and hearty.
You can't be strong if you are thin.
Thinness isn't necessarily sign of sick
ness (un1ess you commence to get thin and
keep getting thinner), but it's sign that you
are IN danger of being sick. It's sign that

ricketts,, or scrofula, and many other sad dis
eases, which might have been prevented by
healthy fairness.
Try, then, to be healthy and fat. It's not
difficult. If you know how the trying is both
easy and pleasant.
In few words, getting fat consists in eat
ing proper food, food that contains the pro-
per nourishment, food that digests easily.
Till a few years ago, doctors, as we'll as
binary people, had great many funny no
lions about the stomach; about how food was
digested, and about what became of it after it
was digested.
NO one KNOWS any DeJJer; no one had stud
led right. Not till very eminent men
gave the subject their special attention, did
we get any real knowledge.
Most people (and many doctors) still think
that everything you take into your mouth is
dlgested in your stomach. This is wrong.
The only foods that are directly digested in
the stomach are the albumens and these,
while important, are, If anything, the least
important OF the foods we digest
To understand how to get fat, you must try
to remember the following explanations:
All the foods eat belong TO one of the
four following divisions:
l. The Starches.
2. The Fats.
S. The Albumens.
4. The Salts.
The salts undergo digestion at all, so we
Will not speak of them further.
The starches and the fat of the body are
sometimes called fuel foods, because they
supply our energy, our motive power. We
burn them up in our daily life as the engine
burns coal. Our fat is our reserve fuel. The
starches, well digested, make us fat.
The albumens are used in our body for the
repair of worn out tissue, of which small
portion goes to waste every day.
The starches, then, form the fuel for our en-
CINE, the aIbumens repair the Of the ma
fuel than repair material.
So unless you do hard labor, you need little
albumen, but always plenty OF starch.
Thin people often have better appetites
than fat people, may even eat more; but still
they don't get fat. What is the reason?
The reason is generally: bad digestion. In
digestion has of late years, been proved to be
the cause of a great proportion of all our dis
eases.
Indigestion can be cured without drugs, by
eating proper food properly. Curing indi-
gestion means getting normal fat.
You probably know what foods contain
starch. If you want to get fat, these are the
foods to cat
If you want to know which of these to eat,
consult your palate. Do you like it? Does it
agree with you?
If not, don't eat it.
The old idea was, that to get fat, you must
eat fat. Fat meat, fat oils, cod liver oil. This
is wrong.
Starchy foods Will make you fltter than
oily foods. You could live without oily foods
altogether, if you wished.
Starchy foods are generally more easily di-
gested than oily foods, hence are better for
people who wish to get fat. If people are too
fat they should not eat starchy foods. All
doctors admit this.
Pasko1a is q starchy food. It's viii en-
able you TO get fat, when all the starch and
fat foods you eat do not help you. The rea-
son fer this is that it is already digested be-
fore you take it.
PaskoIa saves your digestive organs from
having to work. When it reaches the intes-
tines it is absorbed at once.
We said that getting fat consisted in eating
proper food, food that would digest easily
Paskola is that food.
a tIju rerSoO. certainty of getting
fat depends almost entirely upon Pas kola.
Most people eat enough in their daily meals
to become fat, but the fattening food is not
digested. 1t merely passes through the sys-
tenn Thin people can see why it is they need
q food that is already digested.
The old doctors told their patients, if they
suffered from dyspepsia, that drugs would
help them to Sc fat
Even now many of them recommend pepsin
and cod liver oil.
Pepsin won't digest starches fats. 1t only
digests albumen Clean meat, white of eggs,
cheese, etc..
Albumens not fattening. If they don't
agree with you, don't eat too much of The m.
Then you won't need pepsin.
Modern science has discovered that starchy
food is the food for thin people. Paskola is
tne outcome of the most modern discoveries
of modern science. 1t is the best starch food.
It is composed of the finest and most nourish-
ing fours, artifcial1y digested.
Pasko1a is pleasant to the taste. No cook
ing other preparation is necessary. 1t
contains drugs medicine. 1t has simply
been digested by being treated with the sub
stances which, in the healthy man, are used
by nature to digest starch foods.
Pasko1a is nothing but natural food.
Consumption is wasting away and losing of
flesh. 1t is but of the many diseases we
suffer from, caused by bad digestion.
Bad digestion can be cured, the consumpt-
i've can gain flesh and strength, and this will
help the doctor to cure the disease.
The way to do it is for the consumptive to
