Learning 10 Fast.

DR.. Paul Gibler, director Of the
Pasteur institute in New York. bas
been talking about the Italian fas-
ter. Succi. He says there is no
reason to dorbt the genuineness Of
the fasting. lie thinks long train
ing will explain it largely. There
is in his view a uniyerfal ether. an
ANNA mundi. which animates all
living things. 1t is everywhere,
the life of ell beings, but must not
be COMPOUNDED with intelligence.
On this somewhat hazy material the
doctor thinks Succi lives and
thrives. He draws on the univer-
sal energy or ether which is lying
around loose in the air for us all to
draw on, if we only knew how to do
it.
Sucoi has besides great vitality
and power Of resistance, like cat,
and can live under ordinary circum-
stances when people Of low energy
aud life power would die. Then
he has indomitable will power.
These three-the drawing on the
universal ether, his marvellous pow
eI of resistance and his unconqueT-
able will--are the foundation Of his
success as . faster in the Judgment
of DR.. Gilder. To this he adds
long training; and the task is done
which enables him to make a com-
Portable living by starving.
Others than he have a similar
power Of abstairing FROM food. In
dams fast for days at time with
out experiencing evil effects. The
Yogis, Of India, religious ascetics,
obtain in time marvellous psychic
powers by long training and fast
ing. The training must be gradual.
Succi will show to mankind that
they can live ON half the food they
are accustomed to take if they train
themselves to it. His power of en-.
duranee and his success in his forty
five days fasting is the most marve-
lons accomplishment in the history
ofmedical science in the nineteenth
century.
