TWENTY YEARS AGO.

twenty years ago, pills. potions and the
surgeon knife were the only resource in the
treatment Of disease. Science had not as vet
turned her full light on to the problems of life.
She had not shown that foods are more valu.
able than drugs, when things are not running

To-day, one may almost say that the high
{. the standing of physician in his profess
sion, the less medicine he employs He has
found that due attention to diet will accom-
push more than the pills and potions of his
forefathers.
Paskola is a step forward in the line Of foods
specially designed for the cure of dyspepsia
and other diseases which are directly trace
able TO some derangement of thedigrstiye or.
gans. Its novelty lies in the fact that it is
artihcfally digested. In other words, it has
been prepared fOrimmediate absorption WITH
out requiring work of the poor, tired stomach
that needs rest.
Further than this, it contains principles
which are active in the digestion OF other
foods. Therefore il at once once nouTlsbes
and at the same time relieves the disagreeslde
symptoms which are the chronic dyspeptie's

you are, Roger, yet | would a dozen
times rather see him at the bottom
of the Atlantic than to have him feel
anything but friendship for this beau

turning pale.

that my reason is the BEST" said the
doctor, impressively. 81 give you
