Tho Rev. DR.. Talmage, who is nov

question Of sufficient Importance 10

Happiness is not question of bank

rather OF health, and this can ONLY he

Dr. y. Millner Fothergill, of London.
whose name Is household word n
England, says of this dread vet pre-
Valent disease, More distressing than
the actual pain is the sense of misery
experienced by many, the mental dis
comfort, the sense of wretchedness, of
utter unhtness for work, the mental at

Instead of using these words he were to

part at least of tho truth.
Mal-products Of digestion are positive

not NECESSARILY involve strength, rather

or very little indeed is properly digested.
In this condition tho more person eats
the worse he thrives. because he digests
little or none, and, unless he is re-
stricsed to proper meals, he virtually
eats him;elf to death. and he dies of
midst OF unlimited food and everlasting
eating. To cat and digest. then, is not
one and the same thing.
DR.. Fothergill speaks of artificially
digested starch in the following unmis
taxable terms:
las the cooking of starchy foods in
wolves their partial digestion, we SEQ
that intuitively and without the light
OF science, man commenced the artifi.
cial digestion OF starch when only
savage and long before the dawn OF
history. We at the present are emerg.
ing out OF the early darkness and step
ping forward by morning light on the
path to the artificial digestion OF starch,
by SO doing, economizing the body
energy which would otherwise be con-
sumea IN preparing such food for alb
aorption."
Paskolo ia such food, being a pre-
digested starch combined with organic
ferments, possessing the property OF
digesting other foods in the stoma cb,
thus virtually resting the diseased d.
gestive organs and yetinsuring strength
and nourishment to the body.
Paskola has passed beyond the ex-
perimental stage. and is now being EN-.
ployed with the greatest success and
satisfaction by thousands of sufferers.
Many the man and woman who would
have answered the question us life

now comes forward to sound the praises
OF Paskola and tell how il has rescued
them from living death.

writes as follows under date OF JULY
Goth, 1894:
just five years ago quit the farm to
take up office work. I was in perfect
health and for two years following CON
tinued to be robust and strong. At the
expiration of that time, which was three
years ago, began to be troubled with
dyspepsia, but gave the matter little at
tention thinking l would soon come
around all right. Instead, things went
from bad to worse. and in the last six
months | have suffered frightfully. 1t
has been necessary TO call doctor
number of times. My appetite has been
good all this while, while my digestive
organs have been absolutely unable to
digest any food. have tried everything
that has been recommended, without ex-
periencing any benefit. Have used the
medicine OF some OF the best physicians
in this country. They would some times
help me for three or four days, then
would DO just as bad off as was before
consulting them.

like the same person, only weighing 1872
pounds, making loss of thirty three
pounds In six months.
II had begun to think that had
better look around for coffin and q
place to putt, whom just four weeks ago
| came across little pamphlet describ-
ing Paskola. l read every word of it
and was inspired with such confidence
that 1t was decided to give it trial. !
