will have become entirely dissolved or digested;

One Of two things; either that the called Chem
lists are ignorant dishonest.
Glucose has digestive properties. This is
weli-known fact, whereas Paskola Is giving relief
TO thousands OF dyspeptfcs, q truth attested by the
unsolicited testimonials that pour In upon us. The
presence of digestive ferments in Paskola cannot
be determined by chemical test. No one has ever
seen digestive ferments in a pure form, and the
only way to determine their presence IL by obsev
ing the effects which they produce upon food.
This is a fact recognized by every authority, and
VIII be found stated in Fosters Physiology and
Another thing which these ignorant and Jealous
rivals have said about Paskola is that inasmuch
Its basis is predgested starch it is calculated to
encourage diabetes.
We cannot better answer this charge than by
quoting paragraph from a report made to J. lyOr
Gilroy Of New York by DIR. Cyrus Edison, com is
the state OF New York:
Pre-digested starch is starch In the exact coali-
tion that we find II prepared by the digestive
forming. heat producing food Under a diet of pre-
digested starch or glucose q man perform more
muscular work than under any other single article
of food Ire-dlgested starch not only is not IN

out which In some form man cannot enjoy life''
