Skeptics Now Convinced in Woman’s Fast Abstinence From Food 45 Dayß Made Possible by Patient’s Physical Condition. DANVILLE, 111., Jan. 12 - Cold blooded science and adherence of the old-fashion-ed religion of blood and fire ware agreed today that Mrs. Sadie Harrington, Who is fasting to force her husband to Join the Church of God, has not partaken of food for forty-five days. Skeptics and scoffers and most of the townsfolk here were In that class until n day or so ago, and are now beginning to believe that Mrs. Harrincton has been entirely without nutrition since she announced the fast to save the soul of her husband, Ernie Harrington, a produce merchant. Dr. William Gerety. leading physician of Danville, who has been called to the bedside <>f the disciple of the Church of God by her husband, reversed his former stand when he said he had become convinced Mrs. Harrington has been without food. PHYSICIAN CONVINCED. “I was inclined to disbelieve Mrs. Harrington when I called on her the first time two weeks ago,” said Dr. Gerety. “A thorough examination 1 made of her yesterday, however, *si convincing.” The doctor said Harrington had called him on the occasion of each of the three visits and requested that the physician tell Mrs. Harrington she would die if she persisted in her fast. He failed to convince her. he said. “Her pulse was faster and her temperature a little below normal on the last visit,” he said. “These are the first signs of the effects of starvation.” Dr. Gerety said Mrs. Harrington is able to hold up so well because she weighed about 210 pounds at the beginning of the fast. Her sincerity of purpose aud her dominant will also are factors, the doctor said. Study of the case leads him to believe Mrs. Harrington will start to lapse into unconsciousness in about ten days If she continues the fast He said she has lost about twenty pounds and had become slightly emaciated. HARRINGTON REMAINS OCTSIDE OF CHURCH. Obdurate Ernie Harrington still refuses to become an evangelist In Church of God and is becoming Irritable under the strain of trying to keep his business from going to rack and ruin and at the same time spending several hours each day at the bedside of his wife. He bluntly tells all comer* that his store Is being run for accommodation of cash customers and not as an information bureau.
