PLUMP PEOPLE AND THIN ONES.
What Makes the Difference?

What makes some people plump and fieshy and others thin and bonys Is the human body run and shaped in an Invisible moulds And what strange effects this difference produces. Beauty always demands curves-it never allows angles A woman may be thin and graceful, but not thin and beautiful With men the question os fesh, artistically speaking. Is of less importance; yet It may bs of great consequence in other respects Too much fat is a burden-too little is aleo c s. rious disadvantage. How can we strike the | golden mean, ff indeed, we can strike it at ally With the Turks fat is the standard of beauty, l and with all nations reasonable amount of 1t Is the measure of health-in animals and in men But the tendency seems to be the wrong way just now. There Is . vast number of eaunt, pale, l thin people-people manirestly under their prop CT size and weight Many of them are actually emaciated, yet not markedly suffering from rec | ognizable disease. Moet of them eat heartily some of thsm voraciousy. Stil they remain thin-sometimes repulsively so. Commonly they arc also very touchy and sensitive. They have nerves; they are full of nerves. They catch cold easily; they upset by trifies; they lack force and courage. While not necessarily ill at any
 particular time, they are the ready victims of any disease, and fall in multitudes before any
 epidemic. They provide consumption with most 1 of it's subjects
 Now, if they eat, why don't they grow feshy!
 Why do they continue pals, thin and feebles Be-
 cause they do not digest and assimilste their
 food Indeed, their meals more often work harm
 than good. The torpid and disordered stomach
 cannot do the work imposed on it. The contents ferment and purify, and scatter poisonous acids
 all through the body, setting up gout, rheuma-
 tism, bronchitis, consumption and profound ner-
 vous maladies. The system grows feverish.
 Often there Is nausea an1 vomiting; a sour fluid
 rises into the throat; there is distress after eat
 ing, deadness and dlsteniion of the abdomen,
 giddiaess, bad breath, hos frshes followed by
 creeping chllls; yellow eyes and skin; languor
 and weariness not relieved by rest aching of the } back and limbs; great hunger alternating with a loathing of food; anxiety and mental depression shortness of breath, and variable nervous afrec
 tions.
 Nature needs help; 50 much Is plain. But how , can we help hers We must do her work for hel , for a time. We must supply the body with som, perfect food which will not require any digestv, ! labor on the part Of the stomach. Can we dt | thatf
 Until recently this auxiliary was sought amont
 oils and other fatty products especially cod live r oil. But these things failed, for the reason tha - they are incapable of forming real and solid tis
 sue. The false fssh they produce melts ava! | 8 no warmth. Millions of thin, pale, snosmic, con g | sumptive persons remember ths delusive hope @ of recovery they were led to indulge by the ad | vertisements of these fat and-on compounds c t ! emulsions; and how these air castles faded int v gray disappointments
 , l. No; the fats and oils won't do. Experiepc 6 proves that. The only reliable remedy Is not t drug, but a food prepared from certain fruit o 1 rich in starch, and PRE-DIoEsTED RE
 CURE FOR THE PRESENT NO DIGESTIVE ACTION; ;, food capable of being AT ONCE absorbed into tn f blood and building up the body without putin ;, 6 strain on the enfeebled digestive organs. l. This is wonderfully done by the new prepsra
 tion called Paskoia, which Is made on the correc '- scientific theory. When eaten (tor 1t is 6 food Q ! not drug) 1t IMMEDIATELY-becomes 8 flesh II building, hfe-giving element in the blood. Al increase of vitality, vigor and weight is felt a '- once, and the symptoms of the previous depress
 ed, devitalised state pass away.
 Yet Paskola, while 8 true food, needs to b
 used for a short time only. It gives Nature pow
 or to put herself to rights, and then it's work d done. The point Is that it soon enables the ste }. mach to digest ANY food, even strong meats d Tben the patient may follow his appetite am
 consa alt his palate alone.
 T Under the nourishing power of Paskola tn V hectic flush soon leaves the consumptive's cheek 1t ! the skin assumes the hue of health, the nigh r sweats cease, the cough dies away, and the ema citation is lost under 6 coating of soiid warm ant 1. | normal flesh.
 l. Physicians already report brilliant results pro
 duced by Paskola in the digestive torpor charac teristic of all febrile diseases, and employ 1t Ii B the place of stimulants-the old treatment. Tn j. I patients stomach at once absorbs Paskola l. whichkeeps up his strength until the disease i 6 | vanquished. Its usefulness in this direction Il | beyond estimate.
 ,t Of late years pale, thin people, of both sexes Il have come to be an increasing majority in thi
 country. Young persons grow tall and slender
 without breadth or stamina, and perish as fas
 as they grow. The statistics of the throat an d lung hospitals tell the story of their fate. The a ! are born with brains and nerves but without tn ,r most important arrangement of ala competer .. | digestive system. The doctors keep them goin "a on stimulants for a while, and then they die.
 It is all such as these that Paskola is destine
 to save. They don't need medicines nor trxve
 nor change of scene. They need food and tn
 power to digest and appropriate it to the body
 constant needs That power Paskola gives ,f Why should multitudes of men and wome n either die young or be invalds all their dayi 10 Once the reason was-there was no means
 prevent 1t. Now there is.
