HE WAS .SHIPWRECKED.
A Graphic Experience in the
Caribbean Sea.
AND A FORTUNATE RESCUE
The Thrilling story Told by Mr.. A. W.
Buroh the Survivor and How He
Oyercame other Troubles

The following account OF a shipwreek,
rescue, subsequent disaster and Goal sal
walton is given by Mr. A w. Burch. of
Rome, N Y. II is exceedingly graphic
and will De found most interesting:-
"On the 18th day of January, 1898,
while cruising down the Caribbean Sea.
accompanied by my wife and child, we
were caught in a heavy northeast gale
which drove our schooner ashore on the
north coast Of Honduras. No one, I'M
less he has been shipwreched, can
imagine what this means. Fortunately
we were rescued from the wreck by
some Carib Indians who were living in
small village on the coast, and such com
forts as the village afforded were placed
at our disposal
Among this semi blrbs Gus people
we remained five weeks. finally crossing
to the island OF Ruatan in dugout
boat
During the time we were among the
Csribs we were forced to live upon CO
cOanuis, bananas, cassava and other
foods to which we were unRccustomed
Oar stomachs were soon derauged by
this strange diet and we suffered acutely
from dyspepsia Both myself and wife
bad terrible indigestion, nausea, occa
SIGNAL headaches, sinking at the pit OF
the stomach and the usual troubles
dyspeptics generally undergo.
1--WE finally reached the United States
in very broken condition, where we
employed the best physicians and used
various preparations. but we received
little If any benefit Tire malarial poi
sons which we had taken into our sys
tems, with the acute gastric troubles,
refused to yield to the various methods
Of treatment and our conditions became
daily more painful and alarming
1T seemed terrible that we should be
rescued from a watery grave only to be
plunged into q worse than living death,
aud you can naturally understand that l
became quite discouraged
1T was at this time that l observed,
from an article in oae of the leading
papers. that there had been a scientific
discovery which felt was suited to our
case. at once began its use and expert

came good and my food, instead OF dis
treesiug me rs formerly, was perfectly

began to gain flesh. and now both my
sell, my wife aud our child are restored
60 perfect health and strength wholly
through the use Of the great pre- digested
food Paskola
1T was this great di Govern which
took us from an almost hopeless condi-
ton of existence and has placed us In a
position where we enjoy life to It's ut
most l have felt since 10Y most 70
markable recovery, that any discovery
such as Psskola which could make me
new man and restore my family to health
after we had BEEN brought so low must
be of the greatest value to the hundreds
Of thousands Of people who are suffering
constantly from indigestion, constipa
ton, stomach troubles, malarial dlfhcul
ties, headaches and all those things
which so hamper life and interfere with
our happiness and success
This Is my story in brief, aud while l
feel grateful for the rescue from ship
wreck feel still more gratitude for the
salvation from the condition of sickness
and misery which l might even now be
undergoing, had it not been for this
pre- digesied food
It may be remarked In conclusion, that
a pamphlet, fully describing Paskola and
what it does, will be sent free to any ad
dress, by the Pre- Digested Food Co, 30
Reade Street, New York.
