before after extraordinary effort. He
had sought in vain for health and had
applied to the leading specialists of the
country from the Pacific coast to New
York. He had thought that rest would
do him good. but the relief was only
temporary. At last there was a more
serious collapse and it became doubt
tul if he would ever again be able TO
attend to business.
When he was at his worst he heard
of the Thomas uncooked food treat
ment and he determined TO try it. hav-
ing tried almost everything else.
Within three months he had gained
eighteen pounds and now he weighs
l73. The treatment is simple Every
thing used except the uncoolIed bread
can be obtained in almost ana com
munity. The bread is j compound that
looks like yeast cake and at first
tastes much worse. 1t is eaten with
something like loathing. but after
while one gets so that he likes it. At
first the patient is put on 4 supper
regime which consists of water with
lemon squeezed into it and a few grains
of salt added. This is q bacteriacide.
and bacteria make most of the intes-
final troubles of which people COM
plain. For the following breakfast
there is more water. lemon and salt,
end then the uncooked bread comes in.
The patients menu is increased from
time to time after that. but there must
be nothing cooked. 1t is advised that
great quantities Of milk be drunk. a
little milk in this country is apt to pro-
duce constipation. If there is much of
7 drunk that effect does not take place.
DIR Walker drinks a quart a a meal
and he observes that he has to drink no
liquid between meals.
He also eats three raw eggs in the
morning and more during the day at
meals. OF meats he eats beefsteak,
not entirely uncooked but so nearly so
that it might as we'll be raw. 1t is
only scared on the surface to prevent
the escape of the juices. He eats
great deal or as much as he wants of
dried beef Tea and coffee are abso-
lutely interdicted, and one who has &C
customed himself to the uncooked food
diet gets so that he cares nothing for
them.
Mr.. Walker says 1t IS astonishing the
number of palatable dishes that can be
prepared without = resort 10 fire. There
are figs and dates and raisins and al
most every kind of dessicated prepara-
zion. Then there are the fresh fruits.
al this Is much more satisfying than
the old kind Of food. 1t is cooling, in
migrating food for the nerves. His
muscles are better than they ever We're
before, he IS quicker and he can per-
form feats of agility and strength that
he could not perform even in the 1.-the
Eess of boyhood.
There is nothing mere valuable in
his world than health. but Mr.. Walker
has regained something beside his
health. 1t is well known that on ac-
count of his physical breakdown his
iusiness. which was as much in volume
as two men ought TO have undertaken,
was put into a bad shape because he
could no longer attend to it. He knew
how he stood. He knew that at all
times his assets exceeded his liabilities
by at least $4,000. But his bookkeep-
ers and assistants had not grasped the
situation and they did not understand
it. While Mr.. Walker was in bed. htlp-
less, the business had no head. An
effort was made to throw it into the
bankruptcy court Mr.. Walker made
vigorous opposition. He knew that
