Has this case any lesson for you:
Are you thin? Are you furnishing fol
food which the palate refuses and the
stomach cannot digest? Are you pale
for The want of red blood? Are you
chilly because you have not flesh to
feed the vital fire? Are you weak bc.
cause your food Is not aSsimilated!
Are you slowly sinking like a scuttled
ship? Millions are. Abandon the use OF
drugs and me d!cines. and test the sue
c. ssfnl modern scientific treatment.
Pask0la is food. and enables the
system to use all other foods. 1t arrests
emaciation, re-estabIishes nutrition. fills
