A NEW DISCOVERY! How Food Is Digested Before
 Being Eaten. WHAT A REPORTER SAW. Interviews With Many Leading People of New York and the Surprising Experiences
 They Have Had.
New York Press.

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 occurred in New York recently.
 It has been stated positively that a pro- cess has been found whereby food, mixed with fruit acids, became digested before it had even entered the mouth. Certainly if this were true it would mark an era in the history of civilization, and the writer was delegated to thoroughly investigate and report upon the same.
 The first call was made at the office of the company which is now man nufacturing the food in question, and I was permitted to inspect the process of manufacture. l found it exceedingly elaborate and scien- tific, and after inspecting it thoroughly was shown the way in which 1t actually worked.
 A piece of fresh meat was placed in an open dish and some of the pre-digested food mixed with it. Almost immediately there was a change in the color of the meat, next it's ii bers seemed to separate, and soon 1t in the human stomach after being eaten. The effect, the change, the entire process, was most wonderful and speedy. lhls, as you see, IS demonstratlon or what can be done,' said the manager, ebut we prefer that you ascertain just what this food accomplishes with the peo- ple who use it. Here is list of name, and you are at liberty to see them, and ascer- tain just what their opinions may be.' Armed with this list the writer began a tour of investigation, with the following results:
 Sergeant Elias B. Dunn, chief Of the weather bureau, was found in his office looking exceedingly well. In response to my Inquiry he said: s'I have used the pre- digested food Paskola myself and in my family, and I must say that have found t inst what is claimed for it. Ia fact, have been chanting the praises of it very stead- fly ever since first began to use 1t. Why shouldn't 1? It has built ne u- aud made new man of me. You see how fresh and Tcs;-I >is1 and intend to keep SOL
 Col. John k. feaows, tue eloquent dis
 trict attorney of New York, in response to
 my question, said: ''If I am called upon
 to deliver an address or make speech upon
 which much depends, first look out for my stomach. When that is healthy my
 brain is clear, my thoughts are logical, and
 1t IS comparatively easy matter to clothe
 them in proper language. When I am not
 feeling we'll 1 take Paskola, the predi-
 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 Paskoia for
 such n purpose, and l believe it has won
 more cases before jury than you would
 magine.'
 Both Messrs. Howe and Hummel, the
 well known lawyers, fully confirmed what
 had already heard. MT. Howe said:
 t'Look at me Feel how firm my arm
 is You can see I am in perfect health,
 and yet was, not long ago, advised by my doctor to go away for my health. My pres. ent condition is the result of the use of Paskola. It is labor saving discovery
 saves your stomach the labor of digesting
 food. Try it as did, and grow fat and
 jolly.''
 His partner, MT. Hummel, said:
 ''I have seen number of people try Pas-
 kola whose stomachs were so weak that they could digest nothing else, but who
 were able to assimiiate this pTe-digested
 food without the slightest difficulty. Ihave known an adult man, wasted to shadow
 by indigestion, who gained forty pounds in three months by it's use.
 Wherever went the reports were the same, and 1 was forced to the inevitable conclusion that great discovery had cer- -tainly been made for building up the sys- tenn. increasing the strength aud 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.
