CURED HEADACHES
-, BY TEN DAYS FAST

BERLIN, March 27.-To prove that
complete abstinence from food for In
definite periods is not only conducive to
good health, but also to perennial youth.
Miss Claire de Serval, niece Of the
famous fasting" DR.. Tanner, has sub
mitted herself to a remarkable series
OF experiments at the Royal Charts
hospital in Berlin.
Miss Serval ended at noon the other
day in perfect health a fast of ten days
without nourishment Of any kind, either
liquid or solid. During that time she
has lived in a glass cage, into which
fresh air was pumped by a motor. She
was removed from the cage and was
placed in the ordinary ward, but she
intends to abstain from food for another
twenty days, living in the meantime on
mineral water. Her weight has de-
creased from ia pounds to 101 pounds,
but her condition otherwise is perfectly
normal
Most of the time Miss de Serval has
communicated with the outer world by
means of a telephone, but latterly she
has written messages to the medical men
who are observing the experiment and
held them to the sides Of her glass
prison.
She informed an interviewer today
that she never once felt i'll from lack
OF food and drink, and was entirely free
from fever or headache. The young lady
says that she was induced to become
faster in order to cure herself OF
chronic headaches and lack Of appetite,
and also because she finds she emerees
rejuvenated after a period of self-im-
posed starvation.
Professor Kraus, the celebrated physi-
clan, under whose auspices the experi-
ment is taking place, hopes that the re-
suits will be of much scientific value
