ARTIFICIAL DIGESTION.

Gently requested to with ess an expert
ment at the New York laboratory OF The
Pre-Digested Food company. 1t seems
that the digeStiv properties OF Paskola,
their new food, have been questioned IN
some quarters, and it was important
that the matter should be definitely set
tied once for all. 1t was 20 see IN actual
test that we had received the invitation.
After cordial greeting. the chemist in
charge said: MAKE yourselves COM
Portable, gentlemen, and we will at once
proceed to business"
At this iuncture one Of the laboratory
assistants appeared with a supply of
beef. hard boiled eggs. fish, poultry and
game, which he had minced very finely
In order t. initiate the effects OF natural
mastication. \ quantity of interesting
apparatus was then brought forth, and
the mixed food having been divided
into equal portions, was placed in two
similar jars. To each of them was added
calculated water, but to ore was made a
further addition of 4 dose of Paskola
from a bottle which your reporter had
been instructed to purchase In the open
market.
Both jars Were now warmed 10 the
temperature of the body and thus kept
for two hours. At the end of this time
the jars Were removed from the dainty
little oven in which hey had stood,
when 10! and behold. we fonnd that
whereas the contents of one of them had
undergone no change whatever, the
food IN the other, to which had been
added the Paskola, had literally dis
solved like so much sugar, and a clear.
limpld solution was the result. This, TO
our unlnitiated eyes, was most marvel
Gus, and almost savored of magic, for
we had often seen beef boiled in
water without otherwise changing
than TO part with its color. Yet here,
at the gentle temperature of the BODY,
1t had been rendered completely soluble
The chemist, while not surprised. was
no less pleased than ourselves. He OBJ
served: Gentlemen, if you would know |
whether or not Paskola possesses de- |
cided digestive properties, look TO those |
jars for an answer" The evidence was |
for the object lesson before |
us was so simple that we could not fail |
to comprehend the matter. He told us |
that the base of PaSkola was artificially- /
starch and that for |
this reason it was flesh |
producing food vastly superior to /
cod liver oil or any of the nauseous |
drugs heretofore used for this purpose.
