The Science of Fasting and Sunbathing (The Hygienic System Book 3)

This is the original book by Herbert Shelton on fasting, later published under different titles such as "The Science and Fine Art of Fasting."

This is the complete original edition, with forward from the author and revised in 1950 by the author himself. This is one of the classics on fasting. I have formatted this for the Kindle as it is a public domain work, not previously available on this format.
