who for years conducted the drug
store at Eighteenth and Arapahoe
streets is not, and it is 60 days today
since he touched food.
He really thought he ought to
eat a piece Of toast this morning, but
it did not taste good. so after CON
suming a slice about the size Of a
dollar, he told his wife he guessed he
would go to the drug store and walk
ed over to the Lawrence street car.
His fast is Well authenticated and
was not done for the purpose Of no
toriety. For years he has been a
chronic sufferer from stomach trou-
BILE. His health failed so rapidly that
several months ago he was Obliged to
sell his drug store and retire from
business.
Sixty-two days ago he started in
to try fasting as a cure. The first
week he took nothing but water. The
second, third, and fourth weeks he
occasionally at night took a teaspoon
lemon, but nothing more than this.
This continued until the forty-sixth
day, with frequent intervals of three
days, in which even the taste of oil
and lemon was cut out.
Each day he rode downtown and
spent an hour or two at the drug
store. During this time he says his
health constantly improved although
he gradually lost weight He did
not keep daily or weekly record of
this, but on the forty-sixth day he
had lost about 20 or % pounds.
Since then he has been picking up,
and now considers that he is a far
better man physically than when he
started in
The forty-siXth day he tried to
eat a slice Of an onion with the lemon
juice spread on it, but it did not taste
good
Since then he has occasionally tried
to break the fast by drinking water
from boned beef, but he has never
craved either this nourishment or
solid food He is not hungry today
and sees no reason why he cannot
continue to live with olive oil and
lemon juice in teaspoonful meals
for some time to come.
