IS LIFE WORTH LIVING?
Solomon 0rcs Said II Was Not but Afterwards
Changed BIS Mind-Chsr for
the Dependent

The Rev. DR.. Talmage, who is now
touring in Australia, considered this
question of sufficient importance to
make il the subject of a recent sermon.
Happiness is not question OF bank &C
count OF material prosperity. but rather
of health, and this can only be enjoyed
where the digestive organs are perform
ing their proper functions.
Were the question addressed to q
chronic dyspeptic, negative answer
would probably be returned.
Dr. J. Millner Fothergill, OF London,
whose name is household word In
England, says of this dread yet preva-
lent disease. more distressing than
the actual pain is the sense Of misery
experienced by many, the mental dis
comfort. the sense OF wretchedness, OF
utter unfiIness for work, the mental at
titude of gloom, distress and incapacity,
the physical discomfort, tends to cause
the sufferer to have misgivings that the
malady is something more than
mere Indigestion. haunting
fear that the brain is the seat
of the disease, where there is headache,
the heart where there is paIpitation
or irregular action tortures the unhappy
sufferer. The remembrance OF this
impression hangs like dark cloud over
the intervals OF comparative health.
Not only does the brain seem exhausted,
but the whole system seems languid and
weak, instead Of the man being able for
a twenty or thirty mile walk. one or
two miles produce fatigue, and some
times an intense languor is felt without
any exertion at all. When he goes TO
his medical attendant to describe his
case, he says: 81 take all sorts Of
strengthening things, and yet feel so
weak" II Instead OF using these words
he were TO say, because l take all sorts
OF things I feel so weak" he would ex-
press part at least Of the truth.
Mal-products OF digestion are positive
depressent poisons. Strong food does
not necessarily involve strength, rather
the opposite when the digestion is i'm
paired. A little, we'll digested, feeds
the blood, and from IL again the tissues,
better than large meal of which none,
or very little indeed, is properly d.
gested. In this condition. the more
person eats. the worse he thrives, be-
cause he digests little or none. and I'M
less he is restricted to proper meals, he
virtually eats himself TO death, and he
dies of hunger-of actual starvation, In
the midst of unlimited food and ever
lasting eating. To eat and digest,
then, is not one and the same thing.
DR.. Fothergiil speaks Of artiticially
digested starch in the following unmis-
taxable terms:
Gas the cooking of starchy foods in
wolves their partial digestion, we see
that intuitiyely and without the lighto OF
science mar commenced the artificial
digestion Of ftarch when only savage
and long before the dawn of history.
We, at the present, are emerging out OF
the early darkness and stepping forward
by morning light on the path to the
artificial digestion OF starch, by so do
ing, economiZing the body energy
which would otherwise be consumed In
preparing such food for absorption"
Paskola is such food, being predi-
gested starch combined with organic
ferments, possessing the property OF
digesting other foods in the stomach,
thus virtually resting the diseased d.
gestive organs and yet insuring strength
and nourishment to the body.
Paskola has passed beyond the exper-
mental stage, and is now being en-
ployed with the greatest success and
satisfaction by thousands OF sufferers.
Many the man and woman who would
have answered the question us life
worth living?" with an emphatic NO"
now comes forward TO sound the praises
of Paskola and tell how it has rescued
them from living death.
Mr.. L. w. Crisp, agent Of the South
ern Railway Company, Fort Hill, y. c.,
writes as follows under date OF July
Goth, 1894:
Just five years ago quit the farm
to take up office work. / was In per-
feet health and for two years following
continued TO be robust and strong. At
the expiration Of that time, which was
three years ago, | began TO be troubled
with dyspepsia. but gave the matter lit
tie attention thinking l would soon
come around all right, instead, things
went from bad TO worse, and in the last
six months have suffered frightfully.
1t has been necessary to call doctor a
number OF times. My appetite has been
good all this while, while my digestive
organs have been absolutely unable to
digest any food. / have tried every
thing that has been recommended, with
out experiencing any benefit. Have
used the medicine OF some of the best
physicians In this country. They
would sometimes help me for three or
four DAYS, then l would be just as bad
of as | was before consulting them.
II have lost flesh until do not look
like the same person, only weighing 132
lbs, making loss OF 80 lbs. In six
mouths.
~ had begun to think that / had bet

to put il, when just four weeks ago
came across little pamphlet describing
Paskola. read every word Of II and
was Inspired with such confidence that II
was decided TO give IL trial. l began
taking the product early In July, and
By the time the first bottle was half
gone, ordered three more, as l found
IL was doing me much good. / ceased
TO lose flesh, had no further headaches,
nor did | vomit after eating as previ-
ously. Ia fact did not feel as though
l had anything the matter with me at
all. have now taken two aud half
bottles and am still using 1t, everybody
having noticed that AN impro owing and
