Try. then to be healthy and fat. It's not
difficult. II 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 proper
nourishment. food that digests easily.
Till few years ago, doctors, well as ordi-
nary people, had great many funny notions
about the stomach about how food was digest
ed. and about what became of it after it was
digested.
No one knows any better no one had
studied right. Not till some 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
digested in your stomach. This is rrong.
The only foods that are directly digested in
the stomach are the albumens, and these,
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;
1. The Starches
q The Fats;
3. The Albumens,
T. The Salts.
The salts undergo no digestion at all,
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 the engine
burns coal. Our fat is reserve fuel. The
starches. ,cett-digested, make us fat.
The albumens used in body for the
repair of worn out tissue, of which small
portion goes to waste every day.
The starches, then, form the fuel for
engine, the albumens repair the wear of the
machinery. With good engine need
more 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
ia, 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 great proportion of all our
diseases.
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. II you want to get fat, these are the
foods to eat.
II you want to know which of these to eat,
"a
agree with you?
II 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 fatter than oily
foods. You could live without oily foods al
together. IL you wished.
Starchy foods generally more easily
digested 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.
Paskola is a starchy food. It's use will en-
able you to get fat. when all the starch and
Fat foods you eat do not help you. The reason
for this is that it is already digested before
you take it.
Paskola saves your digestive organs from
having to work. When it reaches the intest-
ines 1t is absorbed at once.
We said that getting fat consisted in eating
proper food. food that would digest easily.
Paskola is that food.
For a thin person, the certainty of getting
fat depends almost entirely upon Paskola.
Most people eat enough in their daily meals
to become fat, but the fattening food is not
digested 1t merely passes through the sys-
TEN. Thin people can see why it is they need
food that is already digested.
The old doctors told their patients, if they
suffered from dyspepsia, that drugs would
cure them that drugs would help them to get
fat.
Even now many of them recommend pepsin
and cod liver oil.
Pepsin won't digest starches or fats. 1t on
ly digests albumen dean meat, white of eggs,
cheese. ctc)
Albumens are not fattening. II they don't
agree with you, don't eat too much of them
Then you won't need pepsin.
Modern science has discovered that starchy
food is the food for thin people. Paskola is
the outcome of the most modern discoveries
OF modern science. 1t is the best starch food
1t is composed Of the finest and most nourish-
ing fours artifcially digested
Paskola is pleasant to the taste No cook

tains no drugs or medicine. 1t has simply
been dgested by being treated with the sub
stances which, in the healthy man, are used
by nature to digest starch foods.
Pask ola is nothing but natural food.
Consumption is wasting away and losing OF
flesh. 1t is but one Of the many diseases we
suffer from. caused by indigestion.
Bad digestion can be cured the consumptive
can gain flesh and strength, and this will help
the doctor to cure the disease.
The way to do it is for the consumptive t.
take Paskola. Paskola will make anyone
fat. even consumptive.
Fatness, happiness and health. They all go
together. How seldom do we see fat unhap-
Ply person!
On the other hand the unhappy thin people;
the dyspeptic, the consumptive, the nervous
invalid. Why can they not all be fat' They
would look SO different. They would feel so
different
They could be fat, if they tried. They could
even be we'll il they tried.
The way to get well would be to get fat; the
way to get fat would be to take Paskcla.
Paskola is for sale by all reputable drug
gists. Price so cents per packet.
