Paul Pry," oh yes, it is that,

Toward the close of his most

A little explanation may be
here profitable. The man Allen,
from his eighth to his eighteenth
year, was an epileptic. On one
occasion, at the age of sixteen
years, he had thirty-two seizures
in one day and was not expected
to recover therefrom. From this
time on he went in for a rigid
system of diet, exercise and
baths" and has never had an at
tack since his eighteenth year.
He now takes warm baths two or
three times weekly with an occa-
sional midday dip in a stream.
He has taken no medicine since
sixteen years of age. Mr.. Allen
says: Because vegetarianism has
done so much for me, | am will
ing to give my best to the adj
vancement of its principles" He
fully recognizes, however, that
while feats of endurance in them
selves do not constitute the high
est form of propaganda, they
nevertheless have the advantage
of being very real argument for
the cause.

writes: "A hot bath, good meal,

After nine months in the far
