The regular physicians have at
last shown an interest In the case,
and are now watching in relays
the symptoms and results of the
fast. None OF them admit the
pos eibility of his success. But the
old mans will is pitted against
their science md experience. Tan

appears in good condition. He
has the looks of . well-nOurished

physician says that the watch over
Tanner has not been SO close that

some nourfshment. Another says

of the marked symptoms; but he
does not believe the fast can be ac-
complished. although longer fast
than this has been made. The &C.
lectio physicians say he has now
accomplished the wonderful feat of
