not a question Of bank account or mater
ial prosperity, but rather Of health, and
this can only be enjoyed where the diges.
tive organs are performing their proper
functions.
Were the question addressed TO a chronic
dyspeptic, negative answer would prob
ably be returned
DR.. J. Milluer Fothergill, of London,
whose name is household word in Eng
land, says Of this dread yet prevalent dis.
ease, "More distressing than the actual
pain is the sense Of misery experienced by
many, the mental discomfort, the sense of
wretchedness, of utter uhftness for work,
the mental attitude ofgloom, distress aud
incapacity, the physical discomfort tends
to cause the sufferer to have misgivings
that the malady is something more than
mere Indigestion A haunting fear that
the brain is the seat of the disease where
there is headache, the heart, where there
| is palptation or irregular action tortures
the unhappy sufferer. The remembrance
of this impression hangs like dark cloud
over the intervals of comparative health.
but the whole system appears languid
and weak, instead of the man being able
for twenty or thirty mile walk, one or
two miles produce fatigue, and sometimes
an intense languor is felt without any
exertiou at all. When he goes to his medi-
cal attendant to describe his case, he says

using these words he were to say, "be-
cause take all sorts of things l feel so
weak" he would express part at least
of the truth.
! Mal.products of digestion are positive
depressent pois ms. Strong food does not
necessarily involve strength, rather the
opposite when the digestion is impaired.
A little, well digested, feeds the blood,
and from IL again the tissues, better than
large meal of which none, or very little
indeed, is properly digested. In this con-
dition, the more a person eats, the worse
he thrives, because he digests little or
none and unless he is restricted to proper
meals, he virtually eats himself to death,
and he dies of hunger - of actual starva-
|
everlasting eating. To eat and digest,
then, is not one and the same thing,
DIR. Fothergill spe ks of artihcially di-
gested starch in the following unmistak-
able terms;
"As the cooking of starchy foods in-
wolves their partial digestion, we see that
intuitively and without the light of sci
aroo ,,,.,,, oa1 tbo ortido;oI dir,as-
ton of starch when only savage and
long before the dawn of history. We at
the present, are emerging out of the early
darkness and stepping forward by morn
ing light on the path to the artificial di-
gestion Of starch, by so doing, economic
ing the body energy which would other
wise be consumed in preparing such food
for absorption"
Paskola is such a food, being pre-di-
gested starch combined with organic fer
ments, possessing the property of digest
ing other foods in the stomach, thus vir-
tually resting the diseased digestive or
gans and yet insuring strength and nour-
ishment to the body.
Paskola has passed beyond the expert
mental stage, and is now being employed
with the greatest success and satisfaction
by thousands of sufferers. Many the man
and woman who would have answered
, the question as life worth living T' with
an emphatic Mop now comes forward
to sound the praises of Paskola and tell
how it has rescued them from a livin
death.
