Take two pint bottles aud in one place
tablespoonful Of glucose aud Ia the
other like quantity Of Peskola fiji
them with water, shake thoroughly and
add to each forty drops Of mariatis or
hYdroehlorio acid, 10 order Is iuita,e the
aeidity of the nstural gastric juice
Having previously fnelg minced qnen
tity Of rare OF raw lean BRET chicken, the
white OF hard boiled eggs or similar
foods put into each bottle one onuee
Immerse the bottles in warm water and
carefully maintain the contents Mt 2
temperature of 100 to 105 degrees Fahfen
hait, frequently shaking in order TO
thoroughly expose the food to the action
of the solution
In the course Of very short tine The
contents Of the bottle cont aiming Psskols
will be seen to undergo a change AND a
! two or three hours the food will hive be-
come entirely dissolved or digested;
whereas the contents of the other hottie
containing the glucose and acld will show
no change beyond slight difference in
appearance.
If you have neither the facilisies nor
the inclination to make the test for your
self, we have 70 doubt that your druggist
will be glad TO try the experiment. The
| tubes herewith show the results Of \ test
INSIDE III our own laboratory the cuts
being from photograph No / contained
| glucose, and No 2 Paskola What are
we to conclude2 One of two things
Either that the so called chemists" ara
| ignorant or dishonest
Glucose has no digestive properties
This Is 4 we'll kaown fact. whereas
Paskola is giving relief to thousands Of
dyspeptics, a truth attested BY the unso
licited testimonials that ur ia upon ps
The presence Of digestive fefmenta in
Paskola cannot be determined b. chemi-
cal test No one has ever seen digestive
ferments in q pure form, ard the only
way to determine their presence is BY
observing the eff cts which they produce
upon food This is q fact recognized by
every authority, and will be found stated
Ia Fosters Physiology and other standard
works
Another thing which these ignorant
and jealous rivals have said about Pas
kola, is that irasmuch as its basis is pre-
digested starch, 1t is calculated to en-
courage diabetes
We cannot better ans 9ar this charge
than by quoting a paragraph from
report made by Mayor Gilroy, Of New
York, by DR. CYRUS Edison, Commits
sioner Of Health for the City # New
York. and for the State of New York
Pre- igested starch is starch in tb'
exact condition that we find it prepared
by the digestive organs for assimilation.
1t is prominently a fat forming heat
producing food. Under a diet Of pre-.
digested starch or glucose, man car
perform more muscular work than under
any other single article Of food Pre-
digested starch not only is not injurious
but it is an essential article Of food, with
out which in some form, man canuo
enjoy life
This letter from DR. Edison was writer
in answer to sn inquiry from the Mayor
ss to whether or NOT pre- digested starch
was healthful.
Psskola contains a specific form of pre-
digested starch Is well as predigesteC
ferments and is not alore a fattenint
food but it aids the digestion OF othe
foods ia ths stomach, just 8s you me,
see ia the above experiment. The tired
