I carried a dozen oranges on board with me to make sure. When I began to breathe the salt air I got hungry, so on the fifteenth day I began to eat oranges and kept it up for a day and a half and then tried to get some milk, but could get none that was good, and most of what I got was of the condensed variety. I did the best I could for four days, when my system rebelled and became clogged up and I took another cold as usual. So I decided not to eat another mouthful on that ship, and I kept the fast up until I got to Ft. Worth. Then I went at the matter according to your instructions, and the results were perfect. I took up oranges for two days, then went on the milk diet for two days, then began on the boiled wheat. The results have been highly satisfactory. Going from a cold climate like Paris into a veritable inferno like Texas in summer made it very hard on me, but the wheat diet did everything for me and gave me unusual strength and vigor even in that hot climate where vigor doesn't abound much in hot weather. All my troubles seemed to disappear. I had not sung a tone since I began the first fast in Paris, so I began to practice again, and I never realized such a change in anything. Everything went so easy and all my friends said that they never saw such improvement in a human voice. I have never even desired to taste coffee. I am living on wheat, nuts, all kinds of fruit and vegetables, and the result is everything you said it would be. I have completed my business in Texas and will start back to Paris to-day. I am preparing myself for the journey this time. I have a large "thermos" bottle which I have filled with wheat and will carry plenty of fruit and nuts. I thank you very much for your information along the line of health. You have been a great blessing to me, and I am sure you have been also to thousands of others. ANDREW HEMPHILL. OMAHA, NEB. DEAR MR. SINCLAIR,--I was so fascinated with the story of your fast that I immediately made the experiment for myself, abstaining entirely from food of any kind for five days. I had no particular ailment which seemed to need the fast cure, but felt impelled to do a little investigating on my own account. I kept a diary in which I recorded each day's experience, including loss in weight, effect of cold bath, amount of exercise taken, etc. Without going into details, I can simply say I was astonished by the results. While in one respect my experience differed from yours, in that the desire for food did not entirely cease at any time, I was surprised to find how easily it could be controlled after the first day. Since the fast I have kept on drinking large quantities of pure water--resulting in a gain in weight of twelve pounds, increased digestive powers and a wonderfully improved appetite. I am frank to say I was never so pleased with, nor so greatly benefited by anything ever previously extracted from a magazine article. R. E. WHEELER. 750 PENOBSCOT B'LD'G, DETROIT, Oct. 19, 1910.
