PLUMP PEOPLE and thin ONES
What Makes the Difference i?

| WAdt makes some people plump ana neShy
and others thin and bony Z? Is the human body
run and shaped in an invisible mould ? And
what strange effects this difference produces.
Beauty always demands curves-it never allows
angles. A woman may be thin and graceful
but not thin and beautiful With men the ques-
ton of flesh, artistically speaking, is of less
Importance yet it may be of great consequence
in other respects. Too much fat is q burden
too little is also serious disadvantage. How
can we strike the golden mean? if, indeed, we
can strike it at ALL With the Turks fat is the
standard of beauty, and with all nations
| reasonable amount of lis the measure of health
in animals and in men. But the tendency
i seems to be the wrong way just now. There is
a vast number of gaunt, PALE thin people; peo-
pie manifestly under their proper size and
weight. Many of them are actually emaciated
yet not markedly suffering from recognizable
| disease. Most of them eat heartiIy-some of
| them voraciously. Still they remain thin-some
i times repulsively So Commonly they are also
| very touchy and sensitive. They have nerves;
| they are full of nerves. They catch cold easily;
| they are upset by trfies; they lack force and
| courage While not necessarily ill at any par.
| ticular time they are the ready victims OF
any disease, and fall in multitudes before
any epidemic. They provide consumption with
most OF its subjects.
| Now, if they eat why don't they grow fieshy?
| Why do they continue pale, thin and feeble?
| Because they do not digest and assmiate their
| food. Indeed, their meals more often work
harm than good. The torpid and disordered
stomach cannot do the work imposed on 1t. The
| contents ferment and putrefy and scatter
| poisonous acids all through the body, setting
| up govt, rheumatism, bronchitis, consumption
| and profound nervous maladies. The system
| grows feverlsh. Often there is nausea and
| vomiting; q sour fluid rises into the throat;
there is distress after eating, deafness and dis
tention of the abdomen, gddiness bad breath,
hot bushes followed by creeping chills; yellow
1 eyes and skin; languor and WEAKNESS not
relieved by rest; aching of the back and limbs;
great hunger alternating with loathing of
| foods anxiety and mental depression; shortness
OF breath, and variable nervous affections.
| Nature needs help. So much is plain. But
how can we help her? We must do her work
| for her for time. We must supply the body
! with some perfect food which will not require
any digestive labor on the part of the stomach.
| Can we do that? u 9s
| Until recently this auxiliary vas sought
among oils and other fatty products, especially
cod liver oil. But these things failed for the
reason that they are incapable of forming real
| and solid tissue. The false flesh they produce
melts away more quickly than it comes. 1t
| gives no strength no warmth. Millions of thin,
| pale, anoemic. consumptiye persons remember
the delusive hopes of recovery they were led to
| indulge by the advertisements of these fat-and-
| OIL compounds or emulsions; and how these air
castles faded into gray disappointments
| No; the fats and oils won't do. Experience
| proves that The only reliable remedy is not a
drug but food, prepared from certain fruits
rich in starch and pre-digested so as TO require
4 for the present no digestive action; food
| capable of being at once absorbed into the blood
and building up the body without putting a
strain on the enfeepled digestive organs.
This is wonderfully done by the new prepara-
| ton called Paskola which is made on the cor
rect scientific theory. When eaten flor it is a
| food, not drug, it immediately becomes a
fesh-buidng, lfe-g giving element in the blood.
An increase of vitality, vigor and weight is felt
at once, and the symptoms of the previous de-
pressed, devitalized state pass away.
| Yet Paskola, while q true food, needs to be
| used for a short time only. 1t gives nature
| power to put herself to rights and then its work
| is done. The point is that it soon enables the
stomach to digest any food, even strong meats.
Then the patient may follow his appetite and
consult his palate alone
| Under the nourishing power of PaskoIa
the hectic flush soon leaves the consumptiye's
cheek, the skinassuines the hue of health. the
night sweats cease, the cough dies away, and
\ the emaciation is lost under a coating of solid
warm and normal flesh.
Physicians already report brilliant results
| produced by Paskola in the digestive .torpor
4 characteristic of all febrile diseases, and en-
| ploy it in the place OF stimulants-the old
treatment The patients stomach at once
absorbs Paskola, which keeps up his strength
until the disease is vanquished It's usefulness
in this direction is beyond estimate
| OF late years pale, thin people, of both sexes
have come to be an increasing majority in this
| country. Young persons grow tall and SLENDER
| without breadth or stamina and perish as fast
as they grow. The statistics of the throat and
lung hospitals tell the story of their fate. They
are born with brains and nerves, but without
| the most important arrangement of ALA CON-
petent digestive system The doctors keep
| them going on stimulants for while, and then
| they die.
| tits all such as these that Paskola Is destined
| to save. They don't need medicines, nor travel
| nor change of scene. They need food and the
power to digest and appropriate it to the bod,'s
constant needs. That power Paskola gives
Why should multitudes of men and women
either die young OF be invalids all their dayse
Once the reason was-there was no means 10
prevent it. NoaO there is.
And this new and rational road to health will
reward all who set footupon it.
