feet of a recent sermon. Happiness is not a question of bank account or material prosperity, but rather of health, and this can only be enjoyed where the digestive organs are performing their proper func- tions.
 Were the question addressed to chronic dyspeptic, negative answer would proba- bly be returned.
 Dr. J. Millner Fothergill of London, whose name is househ old word in Eng land, says of this dread yet prevalent dis ease: ''More distressing than the actual pain is the sense of misery experienced by many, tho mental discomfort, the sense of wretchedness, of utter unftness for work, the mental attitude of gloom, distress and incapacity; the physical discomfort tends to cause the sufferer to have misgivings that the m alady is something more than mere indigestion. A haunting fear that the brain is the seat of the disease, where. there is headache; the heart, where there IS palpitation or irregular action, tortures the unhappy sufferer. The remembrance of this impression hangs like a dark cloud over the intervals of comparative health. Not only does the brain seem exhausted, but the whole system appears languid and weak. Instead of the man being able for twenty or thirty mile walk, one or two miles produce fatigue, and sometimes an intense languor is felt without auy exer- llOu Hb HlI. w HGu Ut kOeb bO HlC0AOhA attendant to describe bis case, he says: 'I take all sorts of strengthening things, and yet feel so weak" If, instead of using these words, he were to say, "Because take all sorts of things I feel so weak," he would expressIa part at least of the truth.

A little, we'll dlgested. feeds the blood, and from 1t again the tissues, better than large meal of which none, or very little in- deed, is properly digested. In this condi- ton, the-more person eats, the worse he thrives, because he digests little or none, and unless he is restricted to proper meals, he virtually eats himself to death, and he dies of hunger-of actual starvation, in the midst of unlimited food and everlasting eating. To eat and digest, then, is not one and the same thing.
 Dr. Fothergill speaks of artifieially di- gested starch in the following uumistak- able terms;
 t'As the cooking of starchy foods in- wolves their partial digestion, we see that inItutively and without the light of science, man commenced the artificial di- gestion of starch when only a savage and long before the dawn of history. We at the present are emerging out of the early darkness and stepping forward by morn ing light on the path to the artificial di- 3yeation of starch, by so doing economfzing the body energy which would otherwise be consumed tn preparing such food for ab- sorption. 't
 Paskola is such a food, being pre-di- gested starch combined with organic fer ments, possessing the property of digest- ing other foods iu the stomach, thus vir. tually resting the diseased digestive organs and yet insuring strength and nourish- ment to the body.
 Paskola has passed beyond the experi- mental stage aud Is now being employed with the greatest success and satisfaction by thousands of sufferers. Many the man and woman who would have answered the question els life worth livingT" with an emphatic "Noi' now comes forward to sound the praises of Paskola and tell how it has rescued them from living death.
 MT. l.. w. Crisp, agent of the Southern Railway company, Fort Hill, s. 0. writes as follows under date of July 20, 1894:
 'sJust five years ago l quit the farm to take up office work. 1 was in perfect health, and for two years following con- tinued to be robust and strong. At the expiration of that time, which was three years ago, began to be troubled with dys. pepsis, but gave the matter little attention, thinking would soon come around all right. Instead, things went from bad to worse, and in the last six months have suffered frightfuily. It has been necessary to call doctor number of times. Myap. petite has been good all this while, while my digestive organs have beeu absolutely unable to digest any food. I have tried everything that has been recommended, without experiencing any benefit. Have used the medicine of some of the best phy- scians in this country. They would some- times help me for three or four days, then l would be just as bad off as was before consulting them.
 ''I have lost flesh until do not look like the same person, only weighing 132 pounds, making loss of thirty three pounds in six months.
 ''I had begun to think that had better r<~ ~tr t-- it, when just four weeks ago came across 8 little pamphlet describing Paskola. I read every word of it and was inspired with such confidence that it was decided to give 1t trial. began taking the product early in July, and by the time the first bottle was half gone I ordered three more, as found it was doing me much good. I ceased to lose flesh, had no fur. ther headaches, nor did vomit after eat- ing as previously. In fact did not feel as at all. 1 have now taken two and half bottles and am still using 1t, everybody having noticed that I am improving and my complexion being better than 1t has beeu for two years.
 'sPaskola has done me more good in tho past twenty days than ang medicine have ever taken. In fact, 1t is the only thing thht has ever done me any good. sleep wsll at night, do not dream as did before using 1t and awake in the morning fully refreshed and ready for my york;
 Such statements as these are incontro- yvertable.
 If you are suffering, if an enaciated form and general lack of strength shows that you are not being properly nourished, send for pamphlet on food and digestion, which will be mailed free on application to The Pre- Digested Food company, No. 30 SRsade street, New York city. Paskola is gfot sale by all druggists.
