C. L. Clark, Greenville, Mich. Nervous, poor digestion. Fasted nine
days. "I have been wonderfully benefited, and am a rabid convert.
Alas, for the poor mortal who shows the faintest spark of interest in
my fast--I hand him the whole works, lock, stock and barrel! I feel
a new power and new incentive in life. Whenever I see a sick person,
I feel like telling him that for all he knows to the contrary, good
health has been and may be only eight or ten days away and waiting for
years for him to claim it."
T. S. Jacks, Muskegon, Mich. Twenty days, followed by shorter fasts,
for stomach trouble, diagnosed by Dr. M---- as cancer. "He advised
me to be operated on. Since my fast, three years ago, I have had no
trouble with my stomach. I am entirely cured, and am enjoying fine
health."
Gordon G. Ives, 147 Forsythe Bldg., Fresno, Cal. "Have fasted a good
many times since 1899, to cure catarrh of stomach, constipation,
deafness of four months' standing, neuralgia, etc. Duration, from
one to sixteen days. Never failed in accomplishing a cure. Benefit
continued until I had over-eaten for a long time. Complaints were never
diagnosed by regular physicians, as I got on to them in 1894. Use my
name if it will help the truth."
Mrs. Maria L. Scott, Boring, Ariz. Reports case of husband, who fasted
seven days for constipation and deafness; had been obliged to take
enema daily for several months. Complete cure.
Mrs. A. Wears, De Funiak Springs, Fla. "Age forty-two, subject to
severe colds and sore throat all my life, chronic catarrh of head and
throat, in bed two winters with bronchitis and asthma. Did not take
complete fast. My catarrh is much improved. I feel perfectly well and
enjoy life so much more than I did before the fast."
Mrs. Mae Bramble, Alba, Pa., R. F. D. 70. One fast of thirty days,
another of three days; nervous prostration the first time, appendicitis
the second time. "The first complaint was diagnosed, the second was
not; as I am a professional nurse, I understood the symptoms myself."
Complete and permanent cure. "I have never had a return of the nervous
trouble, and am well of the other complaint. It is five years since the
first fast."
M. E. Beard, Corning, Cal. Fasted nine days for scrofula. Had been
diagnosed. Complete cure, permanent since 1908. Age forty-seven. "Five
years ago I broke down. Physicians never could tell me what ailed me. I
kept busy during my fast physically and mentally; worked over the cook
stove and outdoors. Felt no weakness."
Joseph L. Lewis, Hatfield, Ark. Fasted three days, and then four days.
"During the last ten days have felt better than at any time during the
last seven years."
Monroe Bornn, Port of Spain, Trinidad. Fasted seven days on three
occasions, for liver trouble. "I had been treated by three physicians.
I consider that I was completely cured. I have been examined by
regular physicians since the cure."
