There Is Great Danger In Growing Thin
and It Needs to Be Carefully
Watched.

If you are getting thin you are sick,
though you may not know 1t.
If you are losing weight steadily, there
is something wrong about that needs look
ing 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 are thin.
Thinness isn't necessarily aI 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 ifyou get sick it may bO hard for
you 60 get well; that the least chill may
cause n cold, the least cold becoming
something worse. A sign that out Of u
small ailment may come gout rheumat-
ism, diabetes, consumption, ricketts, or
scrofula, and many other sad diseases
which might have been prevented by
healthy fatness'
Try, then, to be healthy and fat. It's
not difficult. II 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 nourishm, Mt, food that digests
easily.
Till few years ago, doctors, as we'll as
ordinary people, had great many funny
notions about the stomach: about how
food was digested, and about what be-
came 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 atten-
tiou, did We get any real knowledge.
Most people land many doctors) still
think that everything you take into your
mouth is digested in your stomach. This
is wrong.
The only foods that are directly d.
gested in the stomach are the albumens,
and these, while important, are, if any
thing, theleast important Of the foods we
| digest.
To understand how to get fat, you must
try to remember the following explana-
tlons:
All the foods we eat belong to one of the
four following divisions;
l, The Starches;
9. The Fats;
3. The Albumens;
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 spower.
We bnrn them up in our daily life as the
engine burns coal. Our fat is our reserve
fuel. Tho starches, well-digested, make
us fat.
The albumens are used in our body for
the repair of worn out tissue, of which a
small portion goes to waste every day.
The starches, then, form the fuel fol
our engine. the albumens repair the wear
Of the machinery. With 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 appetites
than fat people, may even eat more; but
still they don't get fat. What is the rea.
SOM
The reason is generally bad digestion.
Indigestion has OF late years been proved
to be the cause of great proportion Of al
our diseases.
Indigestion can be cured without drugs
by eating proper food properly. 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 t
eat, consult your palate. Do you like il

II not, don't eat it.
The old idea was, that to get fat yor
must eat fat, Fat meats, fat oils cod live
oil This is wrong.
Starchy foods will make you fatter thar
oily foods. You could live without oily
foods altogether, If you wished.
Starchy foods are generally more easily
digested than oily foods, hence are bstte
for people who wish to get fat. II peopl
are too fat they should not eat starch,
foods. All doctors admit this.
Paskola is a starchy food. It's use will
enable you to get fat, when all the starcl
and fat foods you eat do not help you
The reason for this is that is already di
gested before you take it.
PaskOla saves your digestive organs from
having to work. When it reaches the in
testines it is absorbed at once.
We said that getting fat consisted Il
eating proper food, food that would diges
easily. Paskola IS that food.
For thin person, the certainty of get
ting fat depends almost entirely upol
Paskola.
Most people eat enough in their dali
meals Ia become fat, but the fatteninI
food is not digested. 1t merely passe
through the syetem. Thin people can Sc,
why 1t Is they need food that Is aread

The old doctors told their patients,
they suffered from dyspepsia, that drug
could cure them; that drugs would hell
them to get fat.
Even now many Of them recommen

Pepsin won't digest starches or fats.
