Remarkable Case of VIM. II.
Marie, Hopeless Invalid Who
Cured Himself by Going
Without Food for Over Seven
Weeks-History of His Great
Fast.

BATTLE CREEK, Mich, Sep. 2S.-
William H. Marie, a travelling salesman
of Mayfield Heights. Ohio. had suffered
for years from indigestion. There wasn't
a complaint in all the patent medicine
almanacs that he hadn't suffered.
He couldn't sleep nights; had black
spots before his eyes; suffered loss of
memory; walking was impaired, and he
had to use two canes.
But Mr.. Marie. suffering from all these
things, was cured!
He took a 5O-day course of treatment
with this remedy and now is new man.
His remedy was
Starvation!
Marie came here in March, and his ap-
pearance then would have made an I'M
dertaker feel glad
"Starve," the doctors at a health insti-
tute here told him.
March Is he tasted for a week.
June / he started a 20-day fast He
was learning to stave. just like a baby
learns to walk.
July / he entered the starvation Mara
thon--one that was to break all records
for fasting. His food and drink all that
time was one gallon of water a day.
The first eight days he suffered terribly
from hunger. He was delirious.
July he heaved a long sigh of content
and slept soundly. He had forgotten how
to be hungry.
Atlanta semi-weekly journal. (Atlanta, Ga.) 1898-1920, 1909-10-05

When he entered the health institute he
weighed 145 pounds. July he weighed
135 pounds.
July Is he had starved Is days and lost
Is pounds.
August 1 he had starved 81 days and
lost Is pounds.
August he had starved So days and
had lost p pounds.
August 10 he had starved Il days and
lost 80 pounds.
You see, Marie, instead OF living off
undigestible food, was giving his stomach
the first rest 1t had had, and was living
off the fat of his own tissue. AT least
that's what the doctors said.
At the end OF 80 1-2 days he became so
hungry that, as he said himself: 81
would have died II I hadn't been given
food"
milk
On the second day he was given tive
teaspoonfuls. The third day he had .
little broth. The fourth day he had milk
and broth.
The fifth day he had piece OF toast.
some clamjuice, a few teaspoonfuls OF
milk and some patent health food.
1t was banquet for Marie. 1s
From then on his restoration 10 health
was rapid. Finally he drank SS glasses
of milk in one day. Now he says he'll
never be sick another day in his life
that is. If there are cows.
