Again on August 20 Huffman tried
TO break his fast with the same result.
But Huffman was no worried. Then
on August %. September ] and Sep

he found his stomach refused to take

Wife Shares His Confidence.
Or Huffman's wife. who was with
him throughout his fact, shared her
husbands confidence that he would re-
cover. She respected his wishes that
no doctor he called to treat him.
When Huffman lapsed into uncon-
seriousness Mr.. Huffman began to fear
for his life. She called his brother
and they had the doctor removed to
Dr, c. A. Davey's nature sanitarium
at Youngstown. Davey was the only
man Huffman would allow to treat
him.
Later Hutrman's brother had him re-
moved to the city hospital. Doctors
there tried TO give him nourishment,
but failed.
Fasting. which killed Huffman. was
the weapon with which he believed he
was fighting death. Two years ago
doctors told him he had not long TO
live. He went to lonely spot on the
Grand river near Geneva, and set uD
his camp. which he named Camp Phoe-
nix There for forty-seven DAYS he
went without food.
When Dr. Huffman returned TO his
practice as an oculist in Youngstown
he became annareutly strong and well
in few months.
