distinguished Editor of "The Fra," as addressed to myself personally, in
special relation to an advance section of the book "Dare to be Healthy,"
together with other similar matter, and which, coming as it does from
one who is himself a leader in the van of the advancing phalanx of the
followers of Truth and Enlightenment, may be safely held to constitute a

_From John T. Hoyle, Managing Editor of "The Fra."_

"From my reading of your 'Lessons,' and especially from 'Dare to be

tribute to the success they have achieved in the past and as an earnest
of the deliverance they are destined to achieve in the future, I have
designated my preparations by a similar term and called them the
_"Dech-Manna" Nutritive Preparations_.
