WHAT is APPETITE?
Healthy Appetite teaches us
when we ought to eat.

without Appetite we would not eat, we
would not live
Convalescents are always hungry: they are
growing we'll Children have great appetltes;
they are growing big Healthy people nave
good appetites: their stomachs need food to re-
place the waste tissue and fat consumed by the
body.
If YOUR appetite is bad, you are sick. Your
stomach does not wish to work. Your store Oh
fat will decrease. You will get timer You
will sooner or later waste away. That Is con-
sumption.
If YOU do not waste away, but remain always
thin, you are still laying yourself open to the at
tacks of disease. Fat is nothing but NATURES
reserve force or fuel. You cannot be absolutely
healthy unless you are normally fat.
What makes Paskola the great appetizer"
is the fact that it aids the stomach to digest all
other food, is itself at once absorbed INTO tle
system. and thus leaves the stomach perfectly
emntv. AS soon as this happens hunger oc-
cnrs. The reason so many dyspeptlcs nave no
annette is that their stomachs are constantly
full OF imperfectly digested food.
There is only one way to permanently remedy
this and that is by the use of Paskola fasKoia
being a pre-digested food is directly absorbed,
and gives the stomach no work. 1t brings BACK
a healthy appetite and will make even con-
sumptive healthy and fat.

The seven Rests In Disease.

Mention is made by Professor Hilton,
In his lectures on Rest and Pain" Of the
seven varieties of the former obtainable in
The treatment of disease-namely, mental
rest, bodily rest, mbination of those
two, as in that most perfect state of rest
sailed sleep; organic rest, as evidenced in
the avoidance of exertion in cardiac dis
ease, of talking in affections of the respi-
ratory tract, and in limiting, SO far as pos
sible, the act of deglutition in affections
of the alimentary tract by the substitu-
ton of enemata; local rest, as secured by
change in the position of body or limb,
the use of pillows, cushions, ETC. dietetic
rest, by avoiding the too frequent use of
food and drink; lastly, medicinal rest, in
the relief of spasm by inhalations and the
not too frequent administration of medi-
cine to the prejudice of nutrients or slim
ulants. Professor Hilton lays it down as
a rule that by consideration of the man
ner in which these principles of rest may
be best applied in each special case of dis
ease are relief and comfort to be brought
to the sufferer and diseased action arrest

The VENUS OF PARIS.

The Comtesse de Pile d Or was perhaps
.be most beautiful woman in Paris. She
mad everything to make her life happy.
Her husband adored her and trusted her
implicitly. He gave her freedom that
he knew she would not abuse, and he took
a pride in her social triumphs. She had
few enemies. Her manners were sweet
and pleasing, and her position was far too
secure for any jealousy on her own part.
She was not vain-the really beautiful are
seldom so, and if her triumphs were nee
essary to her life as the air of heaven at
least they were brilliant and great. She
made the art of being beautiful her whole
study. 1t became to her an absorbing in
terest, and admiration was to her as food
and drink. Nature had lavishly lowered
her with charms Her eyes, blue as the
sea. were the inspiration of the young po-
cts of the capital; her lips were ideal, it
was said; her teeth were perfect, and her
head the head of a goddess. Small won
der perhaps that she should devote her
soul to the worship of herself. Every one
encouraged her. The very people knew
her. and as she drove she heard sometimes
their words: ssv'la la belle ComtesseI'

ice upon her heart.
A well known figure in Partisan society

Marechal Boutigny.
He was grim and sinister. He spoke Of

Madame shuddered. A certain pallor
took her face, and M. lie Marecha1 gave his
grim laugh.

She moved away then and sought out
an old woman, the Duchesse d'Avignon.
This lady was 80, and her memory was
fresh and true.
She received the countess with open arms
and ready compliment.
"Flatteuse," said the countess playful

In certain village called Arbisson, not
many miles from Paris, stood big square
house within walls. The great gates were
kept firmly barred, and all communica-
ton with the outside world was carried
on through little side door. In the neg
lected garden old world flowers managed
to grow in rich disorder. The golden mar
ieolds had sewn themselves till in the
course of years they had become flaming
sea, whose warm yellow was only height
ened in tone by contrast with the paler
tint of the huge sunfowers that stood like
sentinels above. Ivies and creepers grew
on the house itself, and wild conyolvulus
bound the trees.
The people of the village had long since
lost their curiosity as to the woman who
lived her lonely life within those walls.
Thirty years ago the house had been sud
denly bought, and lady and two serv-
ants had taken up their abode there, and
had since lived quietly on. For 10 years
the lady never left the grounds. Old Pierre
Roget, the notary, had happened to be
passing when the occupants arrived, and
the word had gone round that the lady
was very beautiful" CONNIE un reve,"
he had said.
But at the end of those 10 years it was
faded and gray haired woman who be-
gan to take her solitary walks. The notary
had gone to his rest, and his words were
forgotten.
Though not far from Paris, this village
knew little of the life of the great city,
and faces that were known in the capital
as the bust on q penny is known might
pass through the street of Arbisson unrec-
pgnized. Still the cure said that the SIN
gle visitor who, perhaps once in year or
Two, called at the old house and was ad-
nitted, was, he thought, the famous Mar
rchal Boutigny. of whom they had all
heard. The servants told nothing, and
madame was hereto and did not attend
mass, SO that the cure had no more claim
to admittance to her house than any OF
the other inhabitants of the village, and
could boast no more knowledge of her than
they. He could only surmise that she was
some one of importance who wished TO
hide herself from the world.
There arrived one day in Arbisson
very smart carriage. The coachman drove
through the village, looking about him as
one who seeks landmarks, and finally drew
up before the gates of the old house. Here
the occupant of the carriage, lady close
ly yelled and in a long cloak, alighted.
She sought the little door in the wall and
| rang, and after an interval she was ad-
mitted.
