Ii the course IF a very short time the
contents OF the bottle containing PaskoIa

in two OF three hours the food will have

contained glucose and No. PaskOla.
What are we to conclude? One of Two
things: either that the su-called
chemists" are ignorant or dishonest.
Glucose las no digestive proper les.
| Tits is "a well known fact, whereas Pas
kola is giving relief 10 thousands uf dys-
replies, a truth attested by the unso-

chemical test. No one Las ever seen
