Which is the Condition People
Should and May Be,
BUT ALAS! MANY ARE NOT.
IF Won Are Not As You Could Wish,
1t Will Pay You To Read The
Valuable Truths That Follow.

If you are getting thin you are sick,
| though you may not know it
If you are losing weight steadily, there
is something wrong about you thatrneeds
looking to.
If you have always been thin, it doesn't
follow that you are sick, but that you
might be healthier.
You might be fat, and plump, and
strong, and hearty.
You cannot be strong if you're thin.
Thinness isn't necessarily a sign of sick
ness unless you commence to get thin and
keep getting thinner), but it's sign that
you are in danger of being sick. It's a
sign that if you get sick it may be hard
for you to get we'll; that the least chill
may cause cold, the least cold becomes
something worse. A sign that out of a
small ailment may come govt, rheuma-
tism, diabetes, consumption. ricketts, or
scrofula. and many other sad diseases.
which might have been DIeUe7lted by
healthy fairness.
Try, then, to be healthy and fat. It's
not difficult If you know how, the try
ing is both easy and pleasant
In few words, getting fat consists in
eating proper food, food that contains the
proper nOurishment, food that dtgests
edStlY.
Till few years ago, doctors, as well
as ordinary people, had u great many
funny notions about the stomach, about
how food was digested, and about what
became of it after it was digested.
No one knew any better; no one had
studied right. Not until some eminent
men gave the subject their special at
tention, did we get any real knowledge.
Most people land many dOctors) still
think that everything you take into your
month : 6IrnGfQd m at
IS acr0ng.
The only foods that are directly digest
ed in the stomach are the aIbumens. and
these, while important, are, if anything,
the least important of the foods we d.
gest.
To understand how to get fat, you
must try to remember the following ex-
plantations:
All the foods we eat belong to one of
the four following divisions:
/. The Starches;
2. The Fats;
3. The AIbumens;
4. The Salts.
The salts undergo no 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 fit IS
oar rese7Ue faeL The starches, aceEL-d d.
gested, 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 engine, Ito albumens repair the wear
of our machinery. With a good engine
we 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 appe-
titles than fat people, may even eat more;
but still they don't get fat What is the
reason?
The reason is generally bad digestion.
Indigestion has of late years been
proved to be the cause of a great pro-
portion of all our diseases.
Indigestion can be cured without
drugs, by eating proper food proper
ly. Curing indigestion means getting
normal fat
You probably know what foods contain
starch. If you want to get fat these are
the foods to eat.
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 meats, fat oils, cod
liver oils. This is wrong.
Starchy food will make you fatter
than oily foods. You could live without
oily foods altogether, if you wished
Starchy foods are generally more easily
than oily foods, hence are
better fer 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
enable 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 al
ready digested before you take it.
Paskola saves your digestive organs
from having to work. When it reaches
the intestines it is absorbed at once.
We said that getting fat consisted in
eating proper food, food that would di-
gest easily.
Paskola is that food
For a thin person, the certainty of get
ting fat depends almost entirely upon
Paskola.
Most people eat enough in their daily
meals to become fat, but the fatteniug
food is not digested 1t merely passes
through the system. Thin peoples
see why it is they need food that is al
ready digested-
The old doctors told their Hpatients, if
they suffered from dyspepsia, that drugs
could 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. It
only digests albumen Qean meats, white
of eggs, cheese. etc.
Albumens are not fattening, If 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 mod
ern discoveries of modern science. 1t is
the best starch food 1t is composed of
