heart attacks upon the slightest exertion. And
now I am so well, so strong, that my family and
friends maintain that it is a miracle which has
restored me to strength and vigor of life—certainly
in my case the cure is most remarkable
because of my sixty-seven years."
Another was a well-known minister who
had been out of his pulpit for twenty-two
months, unable to preach or conduct the simplest
service. He was about twenty-five pounds
under-weight, anemic, nervous, had superacidity,
and could not assimilate his food; and
his heart action was very irregular. He had
gradually declined for two years although
treated by one of New York's leading physicians.
Three months after he placed himself under
Eugene Christian's care, he preached the first
sermon he had been able to preach in nearly
two years. This was over three years ago.
He has gained about twenty-five pounds in
weight and since has not missed a day from his
arduous clerical work. He has steadily gained
in strength and vitality and is to-day healthy
and athletic.
But Eugene Christian's own case is perhaps
the most interesting of all, for it shows
how he discovered the beginnings of the methods
which he has since pursued so successfully with
others—methods of selecting and proportioning
one's meals so as to overcome conditions brought
about by wrong eating.
Twenty years ago he was at death's door;
for several years previous he had suffered
all the agonies of acute stomach and intestinal
troubles, until his doctors—among them some
of the most noted specialists in the country
•—gave him up to die. As a last resort, he
commenced to study the food question himself.
As a result of what he learned, he suc­
Eugene Christian is to-day nearly sixty
years old—or shall I say young? For he has
more vitality, more ginger, more physical
endurance than most youngsters in their teens.
During the past fifteen years he has not had even
so much as a cold.
Since the remarkable success of Eugene
Christian has become known, people have
sought his advice in such rapidly increasing
numbers that he has found it necessary to
put his methods in printed form. He has
written a series of 24 Little Lessons which
tell you exactly what to eat for health, strength
and efficiency.
These lessons contain actual menus for
breakfast, luncheon, and dinner, including
corrective menus for almost every condition
of health and sickness from infancy to old
age, for all occupations, climates, and seasons.
With these lessons at hand it is just as though
you were in personal contact with this great
food specialist, because every point is so thoroughly
covered and so clearly explained that you
can scarcely think of a question which isn't
answered. You can start eating the very things
that will help to produce the increased physical
and mental energy which you are seeking the
day you receive the lessons. And you are quite
likely to feel some results after your very first
balanced meal.
