So Many People Break Down in

Consequences.

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 them
selves. They are in the midst Of grave
dangers, uncon. cious and unwarned!
This mag seem incredible, but is is.
nevertheless, a fact. II is a strong asser-
ton, but it is supported by no less an au-
thority than DR.. Cyrus Edison. of the New
York boari of health. aud one of the lead
ing physicians of America.
In recent newspaper article. which has
created widespread sensation, DIR. Edison
sounds timely note Of warning when be

Few III derstand the high pressure of
life IL New York City they do not even
realize that they themselves are living too
last; that they are daily treating them
selves to abnormal excuses in the way of

body. II the average New Yorker is asked
why he never sleeps until sheer exhaus-
tlon makes 1t necessity, why he drinks

Is not one thing alone, however, 1t Is not
the simple fact Of eating ones lunch TOO
quickly which Constitutes what term
fast living. But all of our surroundings,
our pleasures aud pastimes partake Of the
same high pitch.
What is the outcome? To supply his
RAPIDLY exhausted syst .m the hard-work-
Ing New Yorker is compelled to consume
large Quantities of rich food, and To stimu-
late himself with alcoholic beverages. He
starts upon his career with robust di9es-
ton, not easily deranged. and his career
ends In premsture death, which too often
owes its origin TO the fragrant abuse Of
that digestion. The constant presence in
the st mach of undlgested food il an irri-
tant. The food fermeDts aud putrefies and
putrefaction frequently results in the
stomach as often as it does outside Of the
stomach, in poisonous ptomaines, which
increase the irritation in the gastric MEM
branes and are also absorbed to an extent
by the system. giving rise 10 well marked
symptoms OF ptomalne poisoning. The
excitement OF work increases this stomach
trouble, and the stomach trouble in turn
Increases PERSONS propsness to nervous
disease and exhaustion"
From the above statement of DR. Edison
it will be seen that the secret of sound
health, upon which success in ii depends,
Is good digestion. When the stomach
does not digest the food that is eaten. the
whole system suffers for want Of nourish-
ment. The undigestel food lies in it, n
iermentlng, poisonous mass. sending its
deadly secretions into every part Of the
body. until there is a physical breakdown.
Nature does not neglect her warnings, for
people who suffer from indigestion are AL

at the pit of the stomach, or other distress
ing symptoms of dyspepsia.
Cure the indigestion. prevent it's dis

permanent health and strength.
Remedies for d, spepsia by the hundred
have been introduced from time to time,
such rs strong medica;ed wines or bit
ters," cathartic.. stomach pills, and cod
liver oil. But indigestion can never be
cured by the Use of drnss They only
make matters worse. A weak stomach
cannot stand drugging. The only way 20
cure indigestion is to restore the digestive
organs to healthy condition. II Was
through recognizing this impor, ant truth
that the discovery of Paskola, the pre-di-
gested food. was brought about. Paskola
Is based on this great natural law. and in
this lies the secret of its wonderful success
In overcoming defects of digestion. Pas
k ola is food, not drug. 1t is pleasant
to the taste and agreeable to the most
sensitive stomach. Instead of nauseating,
IL is taken with constant relish.
But what makes Paskola such a won
deriul appetizer" is the fact tha, il ads
the stomach to digest all other food. As
soon as il is swallowed it is absorbed into
the system, ard thus leaves the stomach
perfectly empty. Ii enters at once into

have no appetite is that their stomachs
