HASTINGS, MICH., Sept. 11, 1910.
EDITOR, THE _Cosmopolitan_.
Every reader of your magazine owes you a vote of thanks for the Upton
Sinclair article on fasting.
Mr. Sinclair said, "There are three dangers attending the fast." In my
case there were four--the danger of being sent to the Insane Asylum.
All my neighbors and relations had the utmost contempt for what they
termed "my craziness." But notwithstanding all this, I fasted fourteen
days, and stomach trouble, heart trouble, kidney trouble, chronic
catarrh, and rheumatism, which for years had made life a burden, are
no more. I do not have to tell my friends, at this date, that it was a
success, they know it. My family physician has since said that it was
probably the best thing I ever did in my life.
I consider myself greatly indebted to you for furnishing me so
efficient a remedy, free of cost.
Gratefully yours,
