I'll the rldiculousn.s,
of which assertion
So Will be made clear
y --=-<%b the following
experiment:
Take two pint bottles and in one
place tablespoonful of glucose and in
the other like quantity of Paskola: fill
them with water, shake thoroughly and
add 70 each forty drops of muriatic or
hydrochloric acid, in order 10 initiate
the acidity of the natural gastric Juice.
Having previously finely minced a
quantity of rare or raw lean beef.
chicken, the white of hard boiled eggs
or similar foods, put into each bottle
one ounce. Immerse the bottles in warm
water aud carefully maintain the con-
tents at temperature of 100 to los de-
grees Fahrenheit. frequently shaking in
order TO thoroughly expose the food to
the action of the solution.
In the course Of very short time the
contents OF thu bottle containing Paskola
Will be seen 10 undergo a change. and
In two OF three hours the food will have
become entirely dissolved or diCested:
whereas the contents os the other bottle
containing the glucose and acid will
show no change beyond slight differ
ence IL appearance.
If you have neither the facilities nor
the inclination TO make the test for YOUR
self, We have no doubt that YOUR drug
glst will be glad to try the experim, MT.

hat are we To conclude? One of two
things: either that the s.-caIled
chemists are ignorant or dishonest

solicited testimonials that pour in upon !
us. The presence of digestive ferments
IN Paskoia cannot be determined by /
chemical test. No one has ever seen
digestive ferments IN pure form, and
the only way to determine their pres
ence Is by so observing the effects which !
they produce upon food. This II a fact
recognized by every authority, and will |
be found stated in Fosters Physiology I
and other standard works.
Anoi her thing which 'hese ignorant
and jealous rivals have said abou, Pas /
koia. Is that Inasmuch as its bacIs is pre-
dIgested starch, II is calculated 20 en-
diabetes.
We cannot better answer this charge /
than by quoting paragraph from "A re- /
port made to Mayor Gilroy, of New .
DIRK, by DIR. Cyrus Edison. Commissi IN !
er of Health for the City of New York. I
and for the State OF New York.
Pre-digested starch is starch in the
exact condition that we find it prepared
by the digestive organs for asslmiia-
ton. 1t - preeminently fat-form-
ing, heat-prod ucing food. Under "A
diet Of pre-digested starch or giu-
cose, man can perform more
work than under any
other single article of iood. Pre-dige, tel
starch MOI only Is not IL curious, but It Is
all essential article of food. without
which IN some form, man cannot enjoy
ife."
This letter from DR. Edison was written
m answer TO an inquiry from the MAYOR
rs t. whether or not pre-dIgested starch
was healthful.
Paskola contains a specific form Of
starch as well a. digestive
erments, and Is not alone a fa,ten-
ng food, but 1T aids the dige.-
Ion of other foods in the stomach.

experiment. The tired, feeble stomach
