 It is not often that science makes a dis covery that demands special investigation on the part of the newspapers. Once in a while it does, however, such as ocurred in New York recently.
 It has been stated positively that a pro- cess has been found whereby food, mixed with certain ferment, became digested before it had even entered the mouth. Ger tainly If this were true it would mark an era in the hietory of civilization, and the writer was delegated 10 thoroughly investi- gate and report upon the same.
 The first call was made at the office of the company which is now manufacturing : the food in question, and was permitted to inspect the process Of manufacture. 1 found it exceedingly elaborate and scien- tific, and after inspecting it thoroughly was shown the way in which 1t actually worked.
 open dish and some of the pre- digested food mixed with it, when the temperature was raised to that of the stomach. Almost immediately there was change ln the color of the meat, next its fibers seemed to separate, and soon it assumed a liquid form, the same as it does in the human stomach after being eaten. The effect, the change, the entire process, was most Won- derful and speedy.
 ''This, as you zee, is demonstration or what can be done,' said the manager, s'but we prefer that you ascertain just what this food accomplishes with the people who use it. Here is a list of names, and you are at liberty to see them and as. certain just what their opinions may be-
 Armed with this list the writer began tour of investigation, with tn .oIo%'ng eesult:
 Sergt. Elias B. Dunn, chief of the 4eather bureau. was found in his office, looking exceedingly well. In response to digested food Paskola myself and in my family, and must say that 1 have found it just what is claimed for it. In fact, have been chanting the praises of it very steadily ever since first began to use 1t: made new man of me. You see how fresh and rosy l am, and l intend to keep so.
 Col. John R. Fellows, the eloquent district attorney of New York, in response to my question said "If am called upon to deliver an address or make speech upon which much depends, first look out for my stomach. When thatis healthy my brain is clear, my thoughts are logical, and it is comparatively easy matter to clothe them in proper language. When am not feeling we'll take Paskola, the pre-di- gested food, which sets the stomach right, clears the cobwebs from the brain and sets the machinery of thought and eloquence in motion. There is nothing like Paskola for such purpose and believe it has won more cases before a jury than you would imagine.'
 Both Messrs. Howe and Hummel, the well known lawyers, fully confirmed what I had already heard. MT. Howe said: nl ''Look at mel Feel how firm my arm Els! You can see am in perfect health, 's shnd yet was, not long ago, advised by my Ydoctor to go away for my health. My present condition is the result of the use of Paskola. It is a labor saving discovery saves your stomach the labor of dgesting food. Try it as did, and grow fat and jolly.''
 His partner, Mir. Hum1nel. said:
 ''I have seen a number of people try PaskoIa whose stcmachs were su weak that they could digest nothing else, but who were able to assimiate this pre-digested food without the slightest difficulty. I have known an adult man wasted to 8 shadow by indigestion, who gained forty pounds in three months by it's use.'
 Wherever I went the reports were the same, and was forced to the inevitable conclusion that a great discovery had cer- tainly been made for building up the sys- tenn, increasing the strength and prolong- ing the life, without any drain or strain upon the digestive organs, which has been the great bane of our American life. Ger tainly the results of the research proves so.
