ACTUALLY STARVING.
A Prominent NewY ork Man Dies
in Sight of Food.
WHY COULD THIS BE so!
Ht KS Clearly Explained. and the Fear
ful Danger That rs Hanging over
Other People Fully Revealed.

thousands of men and women in New
York and throughout the land are starv-
ing although they have plenty Of money
TO buy the best of foodr'
These startling words were recently ut
tered by a prominent physician, whose
residence, situated in one of the best
parts of Fifth avenue, is daily thronged
with fashionable patients. He made the
above remarkable statement to a reporter
in the course of an interview.
81 say" he continued, 'that they are
starving to death-slowly, but surely.
But the pity of it is that few of them re-
alize it. Most of them eat plenty of food,
often live in luxury. but still they remain
thin and emaciated, appear to be con-
sumptive. Why is it, do you ask? 1t is
simply because the food they eat does
them no good. Their systems do not as
simulate it, or extract the proper amount
of nourishment from it. No wonder they
grow weak, pale, thin and puny. Ia
plain English, they are starving to death
exactly as if they were shut up in
dungeon and given only half the amount
of food they need. Nine out Of every
ten people you meet are suffering from
the most terrible disease of modern
times; that is. indigestion and the ina
bility to assimilate the food which is
eaten. l know prominent man who died
recently from just this cause"
"What do you advise such people to do
doctor?" the reporter asked.
II will tell you what they ought to do
and what they ought not to do. What
people need is a fiesh-former. Scientific
investigators have proved that pure
starch food is the only fieSh-fOrmer which
builds up the system and is instantly as
simulated by weakened digestive organs.
Taking advantage of this fact one Of the
greatest scientists the world has ever
known devoted a lifetime to experiment
and research. He at last obtained true
II conforming food, the essence of nOur-
ishment, pure starch food. 1t is known
as Paskola.
'sThis wonderful preparation is taken
during the meals just as it is put up. Its
Immediate effect is to enter the system,
directly assimilate and enable the food
that is eaten to be likewise digested.
The result is the extraction of every par
ticle of nourishment from the food eaten,
added to that impaired by Paskola.
Unlike the oliver oil emulsions and
other rancid, fatty mixtures, it can be en-
joyed by people who have the weakest
stOmachs."
"You don't approve of fats, then, doe
tori"
"By no means. Their use for gaining
flesh and strength is relic of barbar-
ism. They give neither strength, flesh
nor warmth. Millions of thin, pale, con
sumptive persons remember the delu-
sive hopes of recovery they were led to
indulge in by the advertisements Of these
fat and oil compounds or emulsiOns, and
how their hopes faded into bitter disap-
pointment How can anyone expect
to get well and strong by taking naus-
eating, sickening doses of oils and fats?
81 will tell you another remarkable
thing about Paskola," remarked the
physician. alt is artificially digest
ed, so that it is absorbed at once.
1t requires no digestion when it
enters the stomach. In this way Pas
kola imparts strength to the weak, and
makes thin, fragile persons plump and
robust. There never has been anything
like it for promptly relieving eN-
haustion and tired feelings. People who
take Paskola are advised to weigh them
selves when they commence taking it.
and observe the wonderful effect pro
duced after a short time. They Will find
their weight has greatly increased and
their general health vastly improved.
| The progress of science is indeed won
derful, and in no way have been so inn
pressed with this fact as by this great
discovery, Paskola, which is certainly
the grandest thing for weak, thin, debili-
tated people that was ever brought out.
/ urge everyone who needs more healthy
flesh, more sound vigor and strength, to
try Paskola, and they will be astonished
and gratified at its wonderful effect up
on them"
A pamphlet giving full particulars re-
speeding Paskola will be sent on applica-
ton to the Pre-Digested Food Co, 80
