Astorga tells his friends. is the secret of his
remarkable endurance. His simple diet pre-
serves this condition, he adds, but energy
OF the will is first.
Thus the commentaries prescription is
the formula Sobriety and will.
Astorga is a soldier of merit. His spurs
were long ago Won, though he is not yet
much more than forty. He was born in the
confines OF Mendoza, and as a boy chose
arms as his profession. At the age OF thir-
teen he was in military school, and, stiil
a youth, he was enrolled in the army OF
Argentina in the Ninth Regiment of cav
airy For years he fought with his COM
mand against turbulent Indians. and was
thrice wounded. Twice he was rescued after
being captured. and once he was saved from
the horrors of torture in native camp.
But the greatest danger of this trooper
life was one which tries the temper of the
bravest man. be he innocent or guilty, for
he was accused of the murder of a brother
In arms at a fete, and only the arrival OF
a tardy witness averted conviction.
The crisis of his life brought forth his
theory of nutrition. Then he conceived
the idea, new to the plain soldier, that
true physical welfare depended upon moral
force, and that the body which was under
the subjection of the will if simply nour-
ished. could defy disease or fatigue.
Suffering then with an intestinal dis
order. the result of his wounds, he passed
period of rest in Guaimatten. his home.
He had a friend a conSumptive, whose
hope of life had fed.
"Ah." said this friend, ''why is there
not a cure for this disease? Can you tell
me one, Astorga?

for your trouble. but there is one | am
about to try myself. l will give you the
recipe and perhaps we shall both astound
the faculty of MEDICINE.
MY remedy is based on such teaching
as is implied in the cardinal virtues of
temperance, chastity. cultivation of true
friendship and hygiene. Fruit and wheat
and pure water must sustain life for me
hereafter. or il may be snuffed out, for
have willed this regimen and l will not
change it,.
Practice of this theory won ridicule, then
respect for Astorga. So predominant, in
deed, this latter sentiment became that his

ophy, sanctioned and honored by a
