and profound belief that nature intended us all
to be well. He told me that rule, when his
patients came to him he started them fasting. In
nearly every instance a physical examination
showed that the system was unhealthy on &C
count of overeating and imperfect elimination.
What it most needed thorough cleansing
The Washington herald. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1906-1939, 1915-03-10

In some Instances the doctor made the patients
fast for a few days only. Others he made to fast
for fifteen days. Even at the end OF this time the
system would not have cleared itself up. There
almost certain to he thick coating of the
tongue and other indications OF mpurty During
the fast there frequent drinking OF water, both
hot water and cold. The cleansing process
continpcd by means OF fruit juices, supplied for
the first day two, and then milk, given for
cral weeks. The fasting patients were allowed to
do virtually whatever they pleased. Some OF
them, for example, went to business each day.
But when they went the milk diet they
expected to spend most OF the time in bed rest
ing and allowing the system to build up.
1t was interesting to to talk with the pa
ticntS Invariably the iastcrs cheerful and
we'll pleased. Not one OF them complained OF
hardship. Perhaps they Influenced by the
psychology operating in the surrounding condi-
tons. They iclt they doing something that
was part OF the established regime there and doing
it under the observation and guidance OF en-
pert.

| asked the doctor TO explain to me his theory
OF fasting. There was some question in MY mind
as to whether method 50 drastic could really
be good Wouldn't it be better to teach patients
to live in way that would enable them to keep
healthy Besides, wasn't the care OF tho body
less important than tho care OF the mind in con-
troll OF the body? The doctor agreed that the
mind OF prime importance. In his work he
was continually emphasizing tho fundamental need
of mental cleanliness, expressing itself in tho en-
joymcnt OF healthy thinking and healthy feeling
and healthy ways OF living. 1t was to reach the
natural man that he advocated fasting Patients
went 10 him physically and mentally unccan As
result OF years OF injudicous living. The system
had become abnormal the victim of false appetitcs.
Fasting, besides subjccting the system to
greatly needed elimination, tended to restore the
normal instincts The milk diet built I'D strength
again and helped to develop craving for simple
foods Most successful fastcrs found that they
did not care for the rich foods they had poisoned
themselves with for the smoking or the drink
ing the use OF drugs that had contributed to
when once the system had been clcansed, it Sc
cured again the instructive guidance in the direc-
ton OF what was wholesome.
When / asked the doctor about long lasts ex-
tending for forty days more. even to eighty
days. as had happened in an instance knew about
he shook his head. 1t was true, he acknowledged
that if the system was left to ITSELF it would finally
clean itself up. The coating of the tongue would
disappear, the skin would take on healthy color
and the eyes would grow bright. But the con-
quest fast, besides being unpleasant in its mani
festatons of physical debility, including extreme
emaciaton, had its dangers. In the building up |
process some weakness might be left in the sys-
tenn. showing itself for example in weak leg |
or a weak Emphatcally the doctor disap- |
proved OF fasting individual experiment, |
without proper observation. His patients he |
watched with the closest scrutiny. And each day
he gave them gymnastic treatment for the purpose
Of keeping them in good condition and h.'e;"ol
