A Graphic Experience in the
 Caribbean Sea.
AND A FORTUNATE RESCUE
The Thrilling Story Told by MT. A. w. Burch, the Sur vivor, and How He Over
 came Other Troubles.

The following account of shipWreck, rescue, subsequent disaster and final salva- tion is given by MT. A. W. Burch of Rome, N. Y. It is exceedingly graphic and will be found most interesting:
 ''On the 17th day of January, 1893, while cruising down the Caribbean sea, accom- panied 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, unless he has been shipwrecked, can imagine what this means. Fortunately we were rescued from the wreck by some Carlo Indians, who were living in small village on the coast, and such comforts as the village afforded were placed al our disposal.
 'Among this semi barbarous people we remained five weeks, finally crossing to the island of Ruatan in dugout boat.
 "During the time we were among the Carlos we were forced to live upon cocoa nuts, bananas, cassava and other foods to which we wers unaccustomed. Our stom- achs were soon deranged by this strange diet and we suffered acutely from dyspep- sia. Both myself and wife had terrible indigestion, nausea, occasional headachs, sinking at the pit of the stomach and the usual troubles dyspepGies generally un- dergo.
 s'We finally reached the United States in a very broken condition, where we em- ployed the best physicians and used various preparations, but we received little, II any, benefit. The malarial poisons which we had taken into our systems, with the acute gastric troubles, refused to yield to the various methods of treatment, and our con : 1ilions became daily more painful and alarming.
 "It seemed terrible that we should be only to be plunged into a worse than living death !, and you can naturally understand that became quite discouraged.
 "It was at this time that l observed from an article in one of the leading papers that there had been a scientific discovery which 1 felt was suited to our case. l at once began its use and experienced instant relief. My appetite became good and my food, instead of distressing me as formerly, was perfectly digested and caused me no inconvenience. l began to gain flesh, and now both myself, my wife and our child are restored to perfect health and strength wholly through the use of the great pre- digesled food, Paskola.
 Ut was this great discovery which took us from an almost hopeless condition of existence and has placed us in a position where we eRj6y lifeNto its utmost. 1 have felt, sj5re my most remarkable recovery {, thaI3ny discovery such as Paskola which cSnrd 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 thou an ls of peo' pie who are suffering constantly rom indi- gestion, constipation, stomach troubles nalarial difficulties, headaches and al those things which so hamper life and in terfere with our happiness and success.
 ''This is my story in brief, and while feel grateful for the rescue from ship wreck, feel still more gratitude for the salvation from the condition of sicknes: and misery which might even now be un' dergoing had it not been for this great pre- digested food"
 It may be remarked in conclusion that { pamphlet, fully describing Paskola ant what it does, will be sent free to any ad dress by the Pre- Digested Food Co.,, 5 Reade street. New York.
