THE SLAVES STORY.

1t is About a Rebellion that Ended i'm Flint
Failure.
That wise old slave, Esop, tells how the
jaws and the arms refused to supply and to
grind food for the stomach which, they said,
was a lazy thing living on its neighbors. or
course the rebel1ious members suffered and
grew weak. AS what we call science did not
exist in Assop's day, it isn't likely that even
he understood the full force of this fable
We understand to-day the supreme impor-
lance of treating the stomach well, for the
consequences of Indigestion extend from the
brain to the toes. Because of bad digestion
there are so many skinny, pale, bloodless
men and women in the world. Nothing will
fatten and strengthen them unless they can
find food that will pass from the stomach i'm
to the blood without digestion. Paskoia is
such pre- digested food.

Queer The young lady has been out of health
and losing flesh. She began taking PasKola
as directed. Her weight was 103 pounds. She
has taken four bottles and now weighs 100
pounds, and is looking much improved. She
says she feels like a new creature. This
change has been brought about by Paskola.'

The staple drink of our English an
cestors before the Introduction of tea
and coffee was beer or ale. Tea was
first drunk in England in 1910, and
coffee was introduced there in 1852
Chocolate proceeded these drinks by
a fewer years, but was soon displaced
by them. Among the few vegetables
then in use were artichokes, which
were made into pies. A superstition
prevailed that vegetables produced
extraordinary effects. Water cress
was believed to restore the bloom to
young ladies' cheeks. Green ginger
was good for the memory and a con-
serve of roses was capital posset at
bedtime. According to Varmex con-
serve of rosemary and sage is very
beneficial to Students, as it "doth
greatly delight the brain" All our
common vegetables were at first re-
garded as medicine rather than foods.
This idea has not entirely disapp ear
ed, for it is considered a valuable
quality in a medicine to be purely
vegetable.
