, this being, as you will see, the
thirty-eighth day of her fast, with cheerfulness and strength
holding full sway. I put her to bed on the first day, to which
she kept, with an occasional day in the rocker, until the
eleventh day, when she took a walk of about one mile. Then she
rested indoors until the twentieth day, when we went to church,
walking a little over two miles, with no fatigue or tired
feelings. I forgot to mention that we had been out driving in
the bracing air for over three hours in the afternoon. On the
twenty-first and twenty-second days, indoors, walking and
working around the house, reading, etc. On the twenty-third day

walked seven miles, no fatigue; thirty-second day, rainy, no
walks; thirty-third day, went to the Exposition, walked all day
from 2 P. M. until 11.30 P. M. (with rest while at the
performance we attended of not over one and a quarter hours),
this being the only resting, possibly two hours, during the
whole time.

itself for a period of about three hours, after which it passed

"On the thirty-fourth day went driving; thirty-fifth day, walked
one mile, then went to the asylum to show the results. The
physicians in charge were simply astounded, and would hardly
believe it possible for one to be so active while taking no
food. I believe we have done quite a little good there, as they
have expressed the desire to try the same on others. They
examined the tongue and took the pulse, finding both in good,
normal state; in the evening walked another mile, visiting the
other doctors whom her parents called in. On the thirty-sixth
day walked one and a half miles; thirty-seventh day, walked
seven miles, hunger sensation becoming decided.
