TASTED Thirty-Fiye DAYS.

For the past two or three years a
great number of people have had re-
course to the starvation cure as a
remedy for their ills of body or mind
There are many authentic cases where
this abstaining from food has been
productive of good results, but the case
of Mrs Hermina Meyer, a Philadel-
phia woman, who was a sufferer from
rheumatism and who resorted to the
fasting treatment as a cure, resulted
fatally. Under the direction of an ad-
vocate of the fasting cult, she abstain
ed absolutely from food for 80 days.
Then she was seized with convulslve
vomiting. From $50 pounds she was
reduced to a mere skeleton. On the
35th day she tasted food, and three
weeks following the breaking of her
fast she died. The person who had di-
rected her to fast pronounced Mrs.
Meyers death due to heart disease. but
her family physician declared it purely
case of starvation.
