57 Days Without Food.

James Robinson, an inmate of the coutny infirmary at Warsaw, yesterday ended a fast that is said to be a world’s record. When he drank a glass of buttermilk it ended a fast that had lasted 57 days. This upsets the theory that 55 days without food is the limit. Before Robinson started his fast he weighed 230 pounds and at the end of the 57 days had dropped a hundred pounds off his weight.
