 After trying the various above named methods without satisfaction, my at tention was attracted to Dr. Edward Hooker DeWey's book, The True SCI ence of Living" which I faithfully fol- lowed. even to taking but one meal a day for some time, and l discovered appreciably good results, but as my case was stubborn one l found stlli something wanting to complete It.
 I finally came upon Charles C. Has l<eIrs book -.Perfect Health" and later his twelve lessons on True ScIentinc Living" which led me along to more improvement. Under these lessons l freauentlv lasted three, five and seven and ten days, which brought me excel lent results, and by continued prac- tice of the mo breakfast planI TOT the past seven years and adherence to the I have been in about normal condition for the past few years, with weight ranging from 160 to ITO pounds.

 As to the results of this fast, I have found and do find much benefit in the power to concentrate on my line of work as well as inspiration, ideas seem to flow more freely than before. When one has gathered up the courage and determine tion to stop all food for 30 days it gives him power and determi- nation to do almost anything else of value to be achieved.

The facts of the benefits by fasting are hard to accept by the great majority, but the only way anyone can really know about it's results is to test it with a zeal to learn all about it, then he will have acquired knowledge, which is power
 When I started this fast I weighed I'll pounds, and at it's close IA pounds, making loss of 27 pounds during-th fast. On the morning of the third day after breaking the fast, eating only two light meals per day, my weight was 152 pounds, showing a gain of about eight pounds, which being much in ex- cess of the weight of food taken shows perfect digestion and assimilation and also shows that we obtain the larger part of our nourishment from the air.
