authority than Dr. Cyrus Edison, OF the
New York Board OF Health, and one OF
the leading physicians OF America.
In recent newspaper article. which has

sounds a timely note Of warning when
he says

which too often owes it's origin to the

From the above statement OF Or. Edison
II will be seen that the secret Or sound
health, upon which success In life de-
ponds. Is good digestion. When the
stomach does not digest the food tina IL
eaten, the whole system suffers for want
OF nourishment. The undigested food Hes

Cure the indigestion, prevent its dis
tressing effects. and you gain the key to
permanent health and strength.
Remedies for dyspepsia by the hundred
have been introduced from time TO time,
such as strong medicated wines or bit
ters" cathartics. stomach pills, and cod
liver oil. But indigestion can never be
cured by the use OF drugs They only
make matters worse a weak stomach
cannot stand drugRng. The only way 10
cure indigestion Is TO restore the digestive
organs TO healthy condition. IL was
through recognizing this important truth
that the discovery OF Paskola, the pre-
digested food. was brought about. Pas
kola Is based on this great natural law.

success in overcoming defects OF diges-
ton. Paskola is a food. not a drug. II

of nauseating, IL Is taken with constant
relish.
But what makes Paskoa such "a Won
derful appetizer Is the fact that II aids
the stomach TO digest all other food. As
soon as II is swallowed II Is absorbed Into
the system, and thus leaves the stomach
perfectly empty. II enters at once into
the worn-out tissues of the body weak
from lack of nourishment, and produces
a reyitallZing effect possible BY no other
means. The reason 80 many dyspepties
have no appetite is that their stomat MS
are constantly full of imperfecuy Of
gested food which causes bloating, belcn-
Ing gas, and constipation. Paskola puts
an end 10 all this. and speedily restores
healthy action. 1t brings back healthy
appetite and will make even a consump-
tive healthy and fat.
Ii you are suffering from the efects or
rapid city life, arr worn out, dyspeptc,
emaciated, try Paskola and regain your
lost health. If you are dragging out
miserable existence simply because your
body Is poorly nourished II strength and
energy have alike departed, try Paskola
and get well. Paskola is kept by every
reputable druggist and a pamphlet fuliy
describing its wonderful effect will he
