MAGIC WORK OF SCIENCE.
A Newspaper Man Sees n Strange and
Interesting Experimentation Com
pletely Digestsd in an Open Dish.
Views of Col. j. X. Follows aud Other
New Yorkers.
New York Exchanyc.D

1t is not often that science mekes a
discovery that demands special investi-
CATION on the part of the newspapers.
Onca in while 1t does, however, such
as occurred in New York recently.
1t has been stated positively that q
process has been found whereby food,
mixed with certain ferment, became
digested before it had even entered the
mouth. Certainly if this were true it
would mark IA era in the history of
civilization. and the writer was dele
gated to thoroughly investigate and
report upon tho same.
The first call was made st the office
OF the company which is now manufac-
turing the food in question, and was
permitted TO inspect the process of
manufacture. | found it exceedingly
elaborate and scientific, and after in
speeding it thoroughly was shown the
way in which 1T actually worked
A piece OF fresh meat was placed in an
open dish and some OF the pre- -digested
food n ixed with it, when the tempera-
ture was raised to that of the stomach
Almost immediately there was change
in the color OF the meat, next its flbers
seemed to separate, and soon it assumed
liquid form, the same as it does in the
human stomach after being eaten. Tho
effect, the change, the entire process,
was most wonderful and speedy.
This, as you see, is demonstya-
t!on of what can be DONE" said the
manager, but we prefer to ascertain
just what this food accomplishes with
the people who use it.. Hero is q list Of
names, and you arc at liberty to see
them and ascertain just what their opin-
ions may bo."
Armed with this list tho writer began
tour OF investig alton, with the follow
ing result:
Sergeant Elias j Dunn, chief of the
Weather Bureau, was found in his office,
looking exceedingly we'll. In response
to my inquiry no said: "I have used
the predigested food Paskola myself nd
in ny family, and l must say that
have found it just what il is aimed for
1T. In fact, | have been chanting the
praises o. it very steadily every sincs
fret began to use it. Why shouldn't l.?
IL has bull: me up and made new man
OF me. You sec how fresh and rosy
am, and intend TO keep So"
Colonel John K Fellows, the clio.
quent district attorney Of New York, in
response to my ques ZION said: IF am
called upon TO deliver an address or
make q speech upon which mucl do.
Ponds, | first look out for my stomach.
When that is healthy my brain ID clear,
and my thou hts arc logical, and it is
comparatively easy matter to clothe
them in proper language. When l am
not feeling we'll l take Paskola, the
pre-digested food, which sets the
stomach right, clears the cobwebs from
the brain and sets the machinery of
thought and eloquence in motion. There
is nothing like Paskola for such pur-
pose and I believe it has won more
cases before jury than you would i'm
agine."
Both Messrs. Howe and Hummel the
we'll known lawyers, fully confirmed
what had already heard. Mr.. Howe
said:
Look at me- Feel how firm my arm
is! You can see l am in perfect healsh,
and yet was, not long ago, advised by
my doctor TO go away for my health.
My present condition is the result of
the use of Paskola 1t is labor saving
discovery saves your stom ach the labor
OF digesting food Try it as l did, and
grow fat and jolly"
His partner, Mr.. Hummel, said:
VI have seen number of people try
Paskola whose stomschs were so weak
tina. they could digest nothing else, but
who werc able 10 assimilate this pro-
digested food without the slightest diff
Guilty. | have known an adult man
wasted to shadow by indigestion, who
gained forty pounds in three months by
its use."
Wherever vent the reports wero the
same. and l was forced to the inevita.
Gle conclusion that great discovery
had certainly been made for building
up the system, increasing the strength
and prolonging the life, without any
drain or strain upon the digestive
organs, which has boen the grea. bane
OF our American life. Certainly the re.
suits OF tho research prove 50.
