You might be fat, and plump, and strong
and hearty,
You cannot be strong if you're thin.
Thinness isn't necessarily a sign Of sick
ness unless you to get thin and
keep getting thiuner,) but it's a sign that
you are in danger of being sick. It's a
sign that ii you do get sick it may be hard
foryou to get well; that tho least chill may
cause a cold, the least cold becomes some
thing worse. A sign that out of a small
ailment may come govt, rheumatism, dia'
betes, consumption; ricketts, or scrofula,
and many other sad diseases, which might
have been prevented by healthy fairness.
Try then, to DO healthy and fat. It's not
difficult. II you know how the trying is
both easy and pleasant.
In a few words, getting fat consists in
eating proper food, food that contains the
proper nourishment, food that digests
easily.
Till q few years ago, doctors, MS we'll as
ordinary people, had Il great many funny
notions about the stomach, about how
food was digested, and about what be.
came Of it after it was digested.
No one knew any better, no ono he'd
studied right. Not until some eminent
men gave the subject their special atten-
ton, did we get any real knowledge.
Most people(and many doctoTs) still think
that everything you take into your mouth
is digested in your stomach. This is
wrong.
The only food that is directly digestcd
in the stomach are the albumens, and these
while important, are, if anything, the
least important Of the foods we digest.
Tounderstard how to get fat, you must
try to remember the following explana-
siOns;
l.. The Starches;
.. The fats;
3. The Albumens;
4. The Salts.
The salts undergo no digestion at all Sc
we will not speak Of them further.
The starches and fat Of the body are
sometimes called fuel foods, because they
supply our energy, our motive power. We
burn them up in our daily life as the en-
CINE burns coal. Our tut is our reserve
fuel. The starches, well digested, mako Us
fat.
The albumens are used in our body fol
the repair Of worn ont tissue, of which {
small portion goes to waste every day.
The starcbes, then, form tae fuel fol
our engine, the albumens repair the weal
of the machinery. With a good engine W.
need more fuel han repair material.
So unless you do hara' labor, you nect
little Rlbulnen but always plenty Of starch.
Thin people often have better appetite.
than fat people, may even eat more: bu
still they don't get fat. What is the rca.
SOM
The reason is generally bad digestion.
Indigestion has OF late years been proved
TO be the cause OF n great proportion OF al
our diseases.
Indigestion cau be cured without drugs
by eating proper food properly. Curlag
indigestion means getting normal fat.
You probably know what foods contain
starch. If you want to get fat, these arc
the food 10 eat.
If you want to know which of these &
eat. consult your palate, Do yon like il
Does 1t agree with you?
If not, don't eat IL.
The old idea was. that to get fat vol
must eat fat. Fat meats, fit oils, cod live
oil. This is wrong.
Starchy foods are generally more easily
digcsted than oily foods hence are bette
for people who wish to get fat, If peopl,
are to fat they ahOuld not eat starch
foods. All doctors admit this.
PRskola is II starchy food. It's use will
enable you to get fat, when all the starcl
and fat foods you eat do not help you. Tn,
reason for this is that it is already digesteC
before you tuke it.
Paskoln saves your digestive organs iron
having to work. When it reaches the in
t]cstiEes 1t is absorbed Mt oace.
We said that getting fat consisted in eat
ing proper food, food that would diges
easily.
Paskola is that food.
For a tain person, the certainty of get
ting fat depends almost entirely upon Pas
kola,
Most people eat enough in their dali,
meals to become fat, but the fattening foo,
is not dlgosted. 1t merely passes through
the system. Thin people can see why it i
they need n food that is already digested
The old doctors told their patients, i
thoy suffered from dyspepsia, that drug
would cure them, that drugs would he'll
them to get fat.
Even now many Of them recccmmenJ
pepsin and cod liver oil.
Pepsin won't digest starches or fats. !
only digests albumen dean meat, white G
eggs, cheese, etc.
Albumens are not fatteninG. If the
don't agree with you, don't eat to much O
them. Then you won't need pepsiu.
Modern science has discovered tina
starchy food is the food for thin people
Paskola Is the outcome of the most moder
discoveries of modern science. 1t is til

Paskola is pleasant to the taste. N
cooking or other preparation is necessur,
1t contains no drugs OF medicine. 1t hn
simply been digested by being treated wit
the substances which, in q healty man. al
used by nature to digest starch-foods.
PaskOla is nothing but natural food,
Consumption Is wasting away and losin

we suffer from.
Bad digestion can be cured, the con
sumptive can gain flesh and strength, aet
this will help the doctor cure the disease
The way to do it ia for the consumutiv
to take Paskola. Paskola will make any
one fat; even u consumptive.
