This may seem incredible, but it is,
nevertheless, fact II is strong as
sertion, but 1t is supported by no less
an authority than DR.. Cyrus Edison, of
the New Y ork Board OF Health. and
one Of the leading physicians of Amer
ica.
In recent news paper article, which
has created widespread sensati on,
DE-. Edson sounds a timely note CT
warning, whom he says:
Few understand the high pressure
of life in New York City. They do
not evon realize that they themselves
are living too fast; thst they are daily

average Now Yorker Is asked why he
never sleeps until sheer exhaustion
makes 1t necessity, why he drinks
stimulants in the morning to drive
away the pains in his head and to be-
get an appetite for breakfast, why he
bolts down his luncheon as If he were
filling his travelling bag in hurry to
catch train. why he drinks stimu-
lants again at night to drive away
nervousness and recurring thoughts OF
his days work, which pass before his
mind with Rgonizing realism, he will
reply in effect: 1T is the spirit of the

fact of eating ones lunch too quickly
which constitutes what l term fast

our pleasures and pastimes partake Of
he same high pitch.

origin to the fagrant abuse of that

From the above statement of DR..
Edison it will be seen that the secret o
sound health, upon which success in
life depends, is good digestion. When
the stomach does not digest the food
that is eaten, the whole system suffers
for want of nourishment The undi-
gessed food lies in it, unfermentlng,
poisonous mass. sending its deadly e.
cretions into every part Of the body,
until there is a physical breakdown
Nature does not neglect her warnings,
for people who suffer from indigestion
are always complaining of headaches
dizziness, bad taste in the mouth,
furred tongue, constipation, gaseous
belchings, burning at the pit of the
stomach or Other distressing symptoms
of dyspepsia.
Cure the indigestion, prevent its
distressing effects, and you gain the
key to permanent health and strength.
Remedies for dyspepsia by the hun
dred have been introduced from time
to time, such as strong medicated
wines or "bitters, cathartics, stomach
pills and cod liver oil. But indiges-
tion can never be cured by the use OF
drugs. They only make matters worse.
A weak stomach cannot stand drug
ging, The only way to cure indigestion
is to restore the digestive organs to
healthy condition. 1t was through
recognizing this important truth that
the discovery of Paskola, the pre-
digested food, was brought about.
Paskola is based on this great natural
law. and in this lies the secret of its
wonderful success in overcoming de-
facts OF digestion Paskola is a food,
not a drug 1t is pleasant to the taste
and agreeable to tho most sensitive
stomach, Instead of nauseating, it is
taken with constant relish.
But what makes Paskola such won
derful appetizer" is the fact that it
aids tho stomach to digest all other
food. AS soon as it is swallowed it is
absorbed into the system, and thu.
leaves the stomach perfectly empty.
1t enters at once into the worn out tis.
sues OF the body weak from lack OF
nourishment and produces rs-yital-
izing effect possible by no other means.
The reason so many dyspeplics have
no appetite is that their stomachs are
constantly full Of impsrfsctly digested
food, which causes boating, belchiny
gas and constipation Paskola puts IN
Iond to all this and speedily res torres
healthy action, 1t brings back q
healthy appetite and will make even a
consumptiye healthy and fat.
IL you are suffering from the effects
of rapid city life, are worn ont, dys-
peptic, emaciatsd. try Paskola and re-

If strength and energy have alike de-
