The Judge and the lockers on were puz-

GIVE YOUR STOMACH A REST.
Simple Advice to Dyspcptics.

Indigestion is caused by a tired stomach Just as
sore back after working is caused by tired mus
clrs Thu remedy in either case is rest Rest is
the rational cure for every ache and disorder that
is caused by overwork. There is but one wav 10
rest your stomach ana other digestive organs
without starving, and that Is by resort to the u.s.,
OF artidcially dlgested foods
Processes have to be discovered whereby meat
and vegetables can be diaested outside of the
body and thus fitted for immediate ABSORPTION
without further change.
Paskula is such a food but Paskola is some
thing more than food. 1t mt only strengthens
aud nourishes the body, but it aids the digestion
of other foods.
By its use the dyspeptic will find himself able
to eat and enjoy those things which have hereto
fore CAUSED the most frighttul distress.
The wonderful crvt of health and di- ease is
hidden almost entirely in the food We eat If we
take care Il our digestion if We eat proper food.
the chances are we sha'i always be well. If we
fail sick We should tase all the more care what
We eat.
Sickness can be cured by food more than easily
by mrdiciue. Pasko'a is one Of the most impor-
tant discoveries Of our age Here is the evidence
Of what it can do for you.
