in the other a like quantity of Pas
kola; fill them with water, shake thor
oughly and add to each forty drops of
muriatic or hydrochloric acid, in order b
initiate the acidity of the natural gastric
juice. Having previously finely minced a
quantity Of rare or raw lean beef chicken
the white of hard boiled eggs or similar
| foods; put into each bottle one ounce
Immerse the bottles in warm water and
carefully maintain the contents at tenn
pera ure Of 100 10 105 degrees Fahrenheit,
frequently shaking in order to thoroughly
| expose the food to the action of the solu-
tiOn.
In the course of very short time the
contents of the bottle containing Paskola
Will be seen toundergO a change, and in
| two or three hours the food will have be-
come entirely dissolved or digested
whereas the contents of the other bottle
containing the glucose and acid will show
no change beyond a slight difference in
appearance.
If you have neither the facilities nor
| the inclination to make the test for your.
self, we have no doubt that your drugg st
will be glad TO try the experiment The
tubes herewith show the results of q test
made in our own laboratory, the cuts
| being from a photograph. No. 1 con.
| talned glucose, and No ? Paskola. What
are we to conclude One of two things:
either that the so called chemists" are
| ignorant or dishonest.
Glucose has no digestive properties
| This is well llknown f sct, whereas Pas
| Sola is giving relief to thousands of dys.
peptics, truth attested by the uu
solicited testimonials that pour in upon
us The presence of digestive ferments
| in PaskOla cannot be determined by
chemical test. No one has even seen
digestive ferments in a pure form, and
I the only way to determine their presence
f ~ ola l,. ,fT,
produce upon food. This is fact recog-
nized by every authority and will be
! found stated in Fosters Physiology and
other standard works
! Another thing which these ignorant
/ ana jealous rivals have said about Pas
/ kOla, is that iuasmuch as it's basis is pre-.
| digested starch, il is calculated to en-
| cour ge diabetes.
! We cannot better answer this charge
| than by quoting "A paragraph from q
report made TO Mayor Gilr0y, OF
| New York, by DR.. Cyrus Edison Com.
missioner of Health for Uhe City of
! New York and for the State of New York
| "Pre-digested starch is starch i'm the
/ exact condition that we find 10 prepared

/ IL is pre-emineutly a f8t-formiug, heat

| digested starch not only is not injurious
but it is an essential article OF food, with
out which in some form, man cannot en-
Joy life"
This letter from Dr. Edison was writer
in answer to an inquiry from the Mayor
as to whether or not pre-digesJed starcl
was healthful
Paskola contains a specific form of pre-
digested starch as well as digestive fer
ments, and is not alone a fattening fOoC
but it aids the digestion of other foods il
the stomach, just as you may see in tn
above experiment. The tired, feeble
stomach Of the dyspeptic is too weak t,
