thousands of people are guilty of fast
living, but do not know it. They are
shortening their lives and laying up
train OF Ills for the future without
being aware of the evils they are
bringing upon themselves. They are
in the midst of grave dangers, I'M
conscious and unwarned!
This may seem incredible, but It Is,
nevertheless, a fact. 1t Is strong
assertion, but 1t is supported by no less
an authority than DR.. Cyrus Edison, of
the New York board of health, and
one OF the leading physicians OF
America.
In recent newspaper article, which
has created widespread sensation, DR..
Edison sounds timely note Of warning
when he says:
Few understand the high pressure OF
life in New York city. They do not
even realize that they themselves are
living too fast; that they are daily treat
Ing themselves to abnormal excessess
In the way Of intellectual effort and in
teIlectual pleasures, which damage and
destroy mind and body. If the average
New Yorker is asked why he never
sleeps until sheer exhaustion makes 1t
necessity, why he drinks stimulants
In the morning to drive away the pains
In his head and to beget an appetite for
breakfast, why he bolts down his lunch
con as II he were filling his travelling
bag In a hurry to catch a train, why he
drinks stimulants again at night to
drive away nervousness and recurring
thoughts Of his days work, which pass
before his mind with agonizing realism,
he will reply in effect: 1t is the spirit
OF the age. am going no faster than
my competitors. l must do it in order
to be in the race!' 1t is not one thing
alone, however, it is not the simple fact
OF eating ones lunch too quickly which
constitutes what l term fast living But
all OF our surroundings, our pleasures
and pastimes partake Of tho same high
pitch.
What is the outcome? To supply
his rapidly exhausted system the hard
working New Yorker is compelled to
consume large quantities of rich food,
and to stimulate himself with alco-
hol1c beverages. lie starts upon his
career with robust digestion, not
easily deranged, and his career ends in
premature death, which too often owes
It's origin to the Hagrant abuse OF that
digestion. The constant presence in
the stomach of undigested food is an
irritant The food ferments and putre-
hes, and putrefaction frequently re-
suits in the stomach as often as it does

ptomaines, which increase the irrita.
ton in the gastric membranes and are
also absorbed to an extent by the sys
tenn, giving rise to we'll. marked symp-
toms Of ptomaine poisoning. The ex-
element OF work increases this stomach
trouble, and the stomach trouble in
turn increases PERSONS proneness to
nervousness and exhaustion"
From the above statement of DR.. Ed
son 1t will be seen that the secret of
sound health, upon which success in
life depends, is good digestion. When
the stomach does not digest the food
that is eaten, the whole system suffers
for want OF nourishment. The undi-
gested food lies in it, fermenting,
poisonous mass, sending It's deadly So
cretions into every part of the body,
until there is physical breakdown.
Nature does not neglect her warnings,
for people who suffer from indigestion
are always complaining of headaches,
dizziness, bad taste in the mouth, furred
tongue, constipation, gaseous belchings,
burning at the pit OF the stomach or
other distressing symptoms Of dyspepsia.
Cure the indiges ton, prevent it's dis
tressing effects and you gain the key to
permanent health and strength.
Remedies for dyspepsia by tho hun
dred have been introduced from time to
time, such as strong medicated wines or
"bitters," cathartics, stomach pills, and
cod liver oil. But indigestion can
never be cured by the use Of drugs
They only make matters worse. A weak
stomach cannot stand drugging. The only
way to cure indigestion Is to restore the
digestive organs to a healthy condition.
1t was through recognizing this impor-
tant truth that the discovery OF Paskola,
the pre.digested: food. was brought about.
Paskola Is based on this great natural
law. and in this lies the secret OF it's
wonderful success in overcoming de-
fects OF digestion Paskola is food,
not drug. 1t is pleasant to the taste
and agreeable to the most sensitive
stomach. Instead of nauseating, it is
taken with constant relish.
But what makes Paskola such a
wonderful "appetizer" is the fact that 1t
aids the stomach to digest all other
food. AS soon as it is swallowed it is
absorbed into the system, and thus
leaves the stomach perfectly empty. 1t
enters at once into the worn out tissues
OF the body, weak from lack OF nourish-

possible by no other means. The reason
so many dyspeptics have no appetite is
that their stomachs are constantly full
Of mperfectly digested food. which
causes bloating, belching gas, and con-
stipation. Paskola puts an end to all
this andispeedily estores healthy action.
1t brings back healthy appetite and
will make even consumptive healthy
and fat.
