Why Some Are Fat While
Others Are Lean.
THIS is INTERESTING.
No Matter to which Glass You
May Belong You Need to
Know what Follows.

visible mOidr And what strange effects
this difference produces. Beauty always
demands curves-it never allows angles.
A woman may be thin and graceful but
not thin and beautiful. With men the
question of flesh, artistically speaking,
is of less importance; yet it may be of
great consequence in other respects
Too much fat ia a burden-too little is
also a serious disadvantage. How can
we strike the golden mean? if, indeed,
we can strike it at all. With the Turks
fat is the standard of beauty, and with
all nations reasonable amount of it is
the measure of health-in animals and
in men. But the tendency seems to be
the wrong way just now. There is a
vast number of quaint, pale, thin people;
people manifestly under the proper size
and weight. Many of them are actually
emaciated yet not markedly suffering
from recognizable disease. Most of them
eat heartily-some of them voraciously.
Still they remain thin-sometimes re-
pulsively SO. Commonly they are very
touchy and sensitive. They have nerves;
they are full of nerves. They catch
cold easily; they are upset by trif1es;
they lack force and courage. While not
necessarily i'll at any particular time they
are the ready victims of disease, and fall
N multitudes before any epidemic. They
provide consumption with most of its
subjects.
Now. if they eat why don't they grow
and feeble? Because they do not digest
and assimilate their food. Indeed their
meals more often work harm than good.
The torpid and disoI dered stomach can
not do the work imposed on it. The con-
tents Torment and putrefy and scatter
poisonous acids all through the body,
setting up govt, rheumatism, bronchitis,
consumption and profound nervous mall
aides. The system grows feverish. Often
there is nausea and vomiting; a sour
fluid rises into the throat; there is dis
tress after eating, deafness and disten-
ton Of the abdomen, giddiness, bad
breath, hot Pushes followed by creeping
chills; yellow eyes and skin; langour and
WEAKNESS not relieved by rest; aching
of the back and limbs; great hunger
alternating with a loathing of food;
anxiety and mental depression, shortness
of breath, and variable nervous affec-
tions.
Nature needs help. So much is plain.
But how can we help her? We must do
her work for her for a time. We must
supply the body with some perfect food
which will not require any digestive
labor on the part of the stomach. Can
we do that?
Until recently this auxiliary was sought
among oils and other fatty products,
especially cod liver OIL But these things
failed for the reason that they are in
capable of forming real and solid tissues.
The false flesh they produce melts away
more quickly than it comes. 1t gives no
strength, no warmth. Millions of thin,
pale, anBmic, cOnsumptive persons re-
mem Der the delusive hopes of recovery
they were led to indulge by the adver-
tisements of these fat-and-oil compounds
or emulsions; and how their air castles
faded into gray disappointments.
No; the fats and oils won't do Ex-
perience proves that. The only relia BILE
remedy is not a drug but food, pre-
foiv rfo1
and pre-dtgested so as to require for the
present no dtgesttUe action; food capa-
BILE of being at once absorbed into the
blood and building up the body without
putting a strain on the enfeebled diges-
tive organs.
This is wonderfully done by the new
preparation called Paskola, which is
made on the correct scientific theory.
When eaten (for it is food. not a drug,
it Immediately becomes a flesh building,
life-giving element in the blood. An in
crease of vitality, vigor and weight is felt
at once, and the SYMPTOMS of the previous
depressed, devitalized state pass away.
Yet Paskola, while a true food, needs to
be used for short time only. 1t gives
Nature power to put herself to rights and
then its work is done. The point Is that
it soon enables the stomach to digest any
food, even strong meats. Then the pa
tient may follow his appetite and consult
his palate alone.
Under the nourishing power of Paskola
the hectic flush soon leaves the consum-
ptive's cheek. the skin assumes the hue
of health. the night sweats cease, the
cough dies away and the emanciation is
lost under a coating of solid, warm and
normal flesh.
Physicians already report brilliant re-
suits produced by Paskola in the diges-
tive torpor characteristic of all febrile
diseases, and employ it in the place of
stimulants--the old treatment The pa
tents stomach at once absorbs Paskola,
which keeps up his strength until the
disease is vanquished. Its usefulness in
this direction is beyond estimate.
OF late years, pale, thin people, of both
sexes, have come to be an increasing ma
jority in this country. Young persons
grow tall and slender, without breadth or
stamina, and perish fast they grow.
The statistics of the throat and lung hos
pitfalls tell the story of their fate. They
are born with brains and nerves, but with
out the most important arrangement of
ala competent digestive system. The
doctors keep them going on stimulants
for while, and then they die.
It is all such as these that Paskola is
destined to save. They don't need medi-
cines, nor travel, nor change of scene.
They need food and the power to digest
and appropriate it to the body's constant
needs. That power Paskola gives.
Why should multitudes of men and
women either die young or be invaIids all
their days? Once the reason was-there
was no means to prevent it. Now there
is.
And this new and rational road to
