THE AGE OF FADS
Health Fads Are Most Numerous of
All.

This is an age of fads, and of all
fads the health fads have become the
most numerous, says the Review.
From the commandment to chew
food from 70 to so times before swal-
lowing, they have ranged through no
breakfast to walking barefoot in the
dew and subsisting entirely upon pea
nuts.
But now what appears to be a real
sensible scheme has come into vogue
and that is to go without food alto
gether.
There is no pain connected with this
sort of treatment and no expense. II
n person tries the doctors or the mud
baths and gets relief, there is always
certain amount of dissatisfaction
when the bills come in, but here
natient can take the treatment as long
as he likes and there will be no bills
at all.
A certain gentleman in Seattle tried
this treatment recently and reported
great relief up to the time OF MS
death. and now DIR. Gustav A. Gayer
of New York, announces that eight
days without food have resulted in
improved sight. better memory and
about 16 pounds less flesh. But that is
not all. the doctors hair has stopped
falling out and is turning darker. Here
then, is a cure not only for falling
memory and sight, but gray hair and
badness.
I or course. there are some disad-
vantages in going without food. partic-
