kills a starving man, so much as his state of mind. It is his fear
thoughts that kill him, just as it is the thoughts and expectation of
cure that keep the fasting man alive and maintain his strength and
ability to work. It must not be assumed from these few remarks that I am
in favour of promiscuous fasting,
