Take two pint bottles and In one place
q tablespoonful of glaeose and in The
other q like quantity OF Psskola: fill
them with water, shake thoroughly and
add to each forty drops Of muriatie or
hydrochlorlc acid, in order TO initiate the
acidity of the natural gastric juice
Having previously finely minced guam
tity Of rare or raw lean beef, chicken, the
white of hard boiled eggs or similar
foods; put into each bottle one ouuc
lmmerse the bottles in warm wGter aud
carefully maintain the contents at a
temperature OF 100 to 1916 degrees Flhten
heit, frequently shaking in order 70
thoroughly expose the food to the action
Of the solution
In the course of v,ry short time The
contents of tine bottle containing Peskola
will be seen to undergo a change, and ii
two or three hours the food will have be-
come entirely dissolved or digested (;
whereas the contents of tho other bottle
containing the glucose and acid will show
no change beyond a slight difference in
appearance.
If you have neither the facilities nor
the inclination to make the test for your
self, we have no doubt that your druggist
will be glad TO try the experiment. The
tubes herewith show the results of q test
made In our own laboratory. the cuts
being from photograph. No contained
glucose, and No, Peskela. What are
We to concluded One Of two things:
Either that the so called chemists" are
ignorant OF dishonests
Glucose has no digestive properties
This is q well-known fact, whereas
Paskola is giving relief to thousands Of
dyspepties, truth attested by the uuso
lieited testimonials that pour ia upon us
The presence Of digestive fermenbs in
Paskola cannot be determined by ehemi-
cal test. No one has ever seen digestive
ferments IN pure form, and the only
way TO determine theic presence is BY
observing the ettsct which they produce
upon food This is fact recognized BY
every authority. and will be found stated
IN Fosters Physiology and other standard
works
Another thing which these ignorant
and Jealous rivals have said about Pas
kola. is that irasmuch as It's basis is pre-
digested starch, it is calculated to en-
courage disbstes
We cauuot better answer this charge
than " quoting paragraph from
report made by Mayor Glroy, Of New
York. by Dr. Cyrus Edison, Commits
sioner of Hsalth for the City IF New
York, and for the State Of New York
'Pre-digested starch is starch In he
exact condition that we find It prepared
by he digestive organs tor assimilation
Il Is prominently a fat forming. heat
producing food Under diet Of pre-
digested starch or glucose, man can
perform more muscular work than under
any other single article of food. Pre-
digested starch not only Is not injurious
but it isau essential article OF food, with
ont which in some form, man cannot
euj)y life"
This letter from DR. Edison was written
In answer TO an inquiry from The Mayor
os to whether OF NOT pre- digested starch
was healthful
Paskola contains q specific 70 IN Of pre-
digested starch US we'll as predi zest ed
ferments and is not alone 4 fattening
food but it aids the digestion OF other
foods IN the stomach, just a. you may
sea in the above experiment. The tired.
feeble stomach Of the dyspep'ie IS too
