WHAT IS APPETITE?
Healthy Appetite Teaches Us Wher

without Appetite We Would moi Eat, We

Convalescents are always hungry: they are
growing well. Children have great appetites they
are growingbig. Healthy people have good ap-
petites: their stomachs need food to replace the
waste tissue and fAt consumed b.. the body.
II your appetite Is bad. you are sick. Your
stomach does not wish to work. Your store of fat
will decrease. You will get thinner. You will
sooner or later waste away. That IL consumption
If you do not waste away, but remain always
thin, you are still laying yourself open to the at
tacks of disease. Fat 10 nothing but na'ure's re.
serve force or fuel. You cannot be absolutely
healthy unless you are normally fat.
What makes Paskola the great appetizer" 10
the fact that 1t aids the stomach to digest all other
food, Is itself ut once absorbed into the system,
and thus leaves the stomach perfectly empty. As
soon as this happens hunger occurs. The reason
50 many dyspeptics have no appetite is that their
stomachs are constantly full Of imperfectly di.
geited food.
There is only one way to permanently remedy
this and that IL by the use of Paskola. Paskola
being pre- digested food is directly absorbed and
gives the stomach no work. 1t brings back a
healthy appetite and will make even a consump-
tive healthy and fat

house to house, instead of in the news
papers. Each envelope contained sum
Of money, he asserted, and she was invited
to draw at random. She did draw several
envelopes and there was money in them
Then he said he wanted to talk with her
husband and asked her to put $50 into
an envelope, seal it up and place it
in the box. As guarantee of good
faith, he said he wonld leave the box
in her care, stating that there was $50 OF
his own in it. She did as he requested.
lie sealed up the $50 and he put 1t in the
box as she supposed. Then he and his

swindle. The box left in the lady's custody
was opened and examined, but there was
not dollar in it,
