MAGIC WORK OF SCIENCE
A Newspaper Man Sees Strange and
Interesting Experiment-Meat Com
pletely Digested in an Open Dish
The Views of Col. j. r. Fellows and
Other New Workers.
Nein Ynll. Errhnnne.

1t is not often that science makes a
discovery that demands special inves-
tigation on the part of the newspapers.
Once in while it does, however, such
as occurred in New York recently.
1t has been stated positively that q
process has been found whereby food,
mixed with a certain ferment became
digested before it had entered the
mouth. Certainly if this were true it
would mark an era in the history of
civilization, and the writer was dele
gated to throughly investigate and re-
port upon the same.
The first call was made at the office
OF the company which is now manu-
featuring the food in question, and L
was permitted toinspect the process Of
manufacture. l found it exceedingly
elaborate and scientific, and after in
specting it thoroughly 1 was shown
the way which it actually worked.
A piece of fresh meat was placed in
an open dish and some of the pre-di-
gested food mixed with it, when the
temperature was raised to that of the
stomach. Almost Immediately there
was change in the color of the meat,
next its fibers seemed to separate, and
soon it assumed q liquid form, the
same as it does in the human stomach
after being eaten. The effect, the
change, the entire process, was most
wonderful and speedy.
"This, as you see, is demonstration
of what can be DONE" said the mana
ger, "but we prefer that you ascertain
just what this food accomplishes with
the people who use it. Here is q list
of names, and you are at liberty to see
them and ascertain just what their
opinions may be-"
Armed with this list the writer be-
gan tour investigation, with the fol-
lowing result:
Sergeant Elias B. Dunn, chief of the
Weather Bureau, was found in his
office, looking exceedingly well. In
response to my inquiry he said: II
have used the pre-digested food Pas
kola myself and in my family and
must say that L haye found it Just
what is claimed for it. In fact, 1 have
been chanting the praises of it very
steadily Of it ever since l began to use
it. Why shouldn't /? 1t has built
me up and made a new man of me.
You see how fresh and rosy l am, and
l intend to keep So"
Colonel John II. Fellows, the elo-
quent district attorney of New York,
in response to my question said" If |
am called upon to deliver an address
or speech upon which much depends,
i first lookout for my stomach. When
that is healthy my brain is clear, my
thoughts are logical, and it is a COM
paratively easy matter to clothe them
in proper language. When / am not
feeling well l take Paskola, the pre-
digested food, which sets the stomach
right, clears the cobwebs from the
brain and sets the machinery OF
thought and eloquence in motion.
There is nothing like Paskola for such
purpose and | believe that it has won
more cases before jury than you
would imagine.
Both Messrs. Howe and Hummel
the well known lawyers, fully con.
tirmed what I had already heard. Mr.
Howe said:
"Look at me Feel how firm nv
arm is You can see / am in perfect
health, and yet 1 was, not long ago
advised by my physician to go away
for my health. My present condition
is the result of the use of Paskola. II
is labor saving discovery-saves youl
stomach the labor of digesting food.
Try it as / did, and grow fat and jolly.,i
His partner, Mr.. Hummel, said:
~ have seen number of people try
Paskola who stomachs We're so weak
that they could digest nothing else,
but who were able to assimilate this
pre-digested food without the slight
est difficulty. / have known an adult
man wasted to q shadow by indiges
tion, who gained 40 pounds in three
months by its use."
Wherever I went the reports were
the same, and I was forced to the i'll
evitable conclusion that q great dis.
covery had certainly been made fol
building up the system, increasing the
strength and prolonging the life, with
out any drain or strain upon the di
gestive organs, which has been the
great bane of our American life, Ger
trinity the result Of the research say so
