Health Restored Eat
ing Raw Foods

This is being written with the
thought in mind that most of the
readers of the Journal have known
that for more than year l have not
been associated in any way either
in ownership, management or edl-
torially, with the Merchants Trade
Journal.
In January, 1919, because of an
extreme health condition, it seemed
advisable for me to get away entire
ly from all business cares. For two
years previous to that time l had
not been able to be at the Journal
office more than half the time, and
even during the half time when on
duty, was not in g condition to trans
act business.
My physicians told me l would
never be any better physically, and
even advised be to get my affairs in
shape so that If / was called into the
other world at any tine, 4 would be
prepared, and this was done. Really,
had given up hope Of ever again
being able to get into business, or
do much of anything.
l am writing this that the merch-
ants of the United States may know
that l have been restored to health,
and it is the thing that restored me
to health that l want you to know
about that others might use the
same remedy, with possibly equally
good results as l am now enjoying.
During the latter part of January
1920, my health was such that a
good deal of the time l was hardly
able to get around the house. One
afternoon the suggestion came to my
mind, and do not know from
whence it came, to begin eating
nothing but raw food.
Within one week after beginning
the eating of raw food, my blood
pressure was normal-a condition
that had not existed for three years,
or more.
Up to the time OIL starting on the
raw food l suffered pains, it seemed
in all parts Of my body nearly every
day. Within forty-eight hours these
pains were, entirely gone and l have
not felt one of them up to this time.
The readers will be interested in
knowing whether or not | have con-
tinued the eating of row foods-yes
up to the first of April. Since that
time | have been eating some cooked
foods, but no meats of any kind, and
while eating cooked food since the l
of April, l presume that half the
meals, or more, have consisted Of
raw foods.
You are wondering what l mean
by raw foods" Well, here is what
| ate: lettuce, celery onions carrots,
turnips, cabbage, prunes, seeded rails
ins and quite a supply of nuts at
every meal. l quit using tea and
coffee, salt, sugar, bread-infact, ate
nothing that heat had touched.
The first thing l do on getting up
in the morning is to drink a full
quart of hot water-not so hot but
what l can drink it without stop
ping. You may think that you could
not drink a quart of hot water every
morning, but you can, and you will
readily come to enjoy it. l drink
nothing at my meals, in fact, l do
not care for drink Of any kind at
meal time, but before | began to
drink hot water in the morning and
eat raw food, l thought it fnpossi-
Bile to get through a meal without
something 10 drink.
This is a simple remedy. 1t costs
nothing 1t is easy to take, and l am
convinced that there would be vast
amount of good accomplished II
other readers of the Journal would
try it. do not know what diseases
might be helped by such diet, for
do not know how it accomplished
what it did for me-physicians do
not know-for the results were in
stantaneous with the beginning OF
the eating of raw foods.
l am mighty glad Of this oppor-
tunity of passing this remedy, If you
wish to call it remedy, on TO
others that someone else may be
benefited by it. But unless you have
will power to hold yourself to this
diet. and are determined to live up to
it, there is no use of your trying it,
for | do not believe that any half
way method of trying it will accom-
plish results.
My friends among the Journal
readers will be wondering, now that
have recovered my health, as to
what | am going to do, and at the
present time l do not know. | am
not contemplating engaging in the
publishing business, but am rather
expecting that by fan l will be TAX
ing up some line of business. What
it will be l do not know.
If you have friends who are suf-
