HE WAS SHIPWRECKED
A Graphic Experience in The Caribbean
Sea.
AND 4 FORTUNATE RESCUE
The Thrilling Story Told by Mr.. A. "
Burch the Survivor and How He
Overcame Other Troubles.

The following account OF shipw reck.
rescue, subsequent disaster and final sal
vation is given by Mr.. A ". Burch, of
Rome. y. y. 1t is exceedingly graphic
aud will be found most interesting:
''On the 18th day OF January. 1895. while
cruising down the Caribbean sea, accom-
panied by my wife and child. we were
caught in a heavy northeast gale which
drove our schooner ashore Oh the north
coast of Honduras No one. unless he has
been shipwrecked. eau imagine what this
means. Fortunately We were rescued
from the wreck by some Carib Indians
who were living in a small village on the
coast, and such comforts as the village
afforded were placed at our disposal.
Among this semi-barbsrous people we
remained five weeks, tiually crossing &c
the Island OF Ruatan in dugout boat.
During the time We were among the
CARDS we were forced to live upon Cocoa
nuts, bananas, cassava and other foods 10
which we were uuaccustomed Our sJom-
achs Were soon deranged by this strange
diet and we suffered acutely from dys-
pepsia. Both myself and wife had ter
rible indigestion. nausea. occasional head
aches, sinking at the pit or the stomach
and the usual troubles dyspeptics gen
orally undergo.
I'VE finally reached the United States in
a very broken condition, where we EN-
ployed the best physicians and used
various preparations, but we received little
if any benefit. The malarial poisons " bich
We had taken iuto our systems, with the
acute gastric troubles refused TO yield 20
the various methods of treatment and our
conditions became daily more painful aud
alarming.
1T seemed terrible that we should be
rescued from a watery grave only TO be
plunged into worse than living death,
and you can naturally understand that
became quite discouraged.
1T was at this time that / observed,
from an article III one of the leading
papers, that there had been a scientific
discovery which L felt was suited to our
case. / at once began its use and expert
enced instant relief. My appetite became
good and my food, instead of distressing
me as formerly, WAS perfectly digested and
caused me no Inconvenience. | began 10
gain flesh, and now both myself. my wife
and onr children are restored to perfect
health and strength wholly through the
use of the great pre-dige.ted food PaSkola.
ut was this great discovery which took
Us from an almost hopeless condition OF
existence aud has placed us IN a position
where we enjoy life to its utmost. | have
felt, since my most remarkable recovery
that any discovery such rs PaScOla which
could make me a new man and restore my
family TO health after we had been brought
so low must be OF the greatest value to the
hundreds of thousands of people who are
suffering constantly from indigestion, con-
stipation, stomach trouble, malarial diff
ficulties, headaches aud all those things
which so hamper life and interfere with
our happiness and success.
This is my story in brief, and while /
feel grateful for the rescue from ship
wreck, | feel still more gratitude for the
salvation from the condition of sickness
and misery which l might even nov be
undergoing, had it not been for this great
pre-digested food"
