Prolessor Putman ol Silver City
Equals Record of Dr. Tanner
and Goes Without Food
for Forty Day.
CURE FOR KIDNEY TROUBLE
New Mexico Man Did Not Attempt Feat
for Notoriety. Iiutto Core Long-
Standing Kidney DUeaae, and
Was Successful.
HK NEARLY STARVED TO DEATH
To exist forty days without food
and to live to tell it, such Is the inter-
esting experience of Prof. Wellington
Putnam, who left Silver City on last
Friday evening's train for his home
in New York City. So far as known
there is but one other man, Dr. Tan-
ner, who performed this feat and it
left him a physical wreck. Far dif-
ferent with Professor Putnam. He did
uot choose to deprive his system of
Roltd food for forty days, for the no-
toriety to be gained from it, but to test
the efficacy of the “fasting" cure for
a troublesome kidney disease. Profes-
sor Putnam claims he has been com-
pletely cured by his long abstinence
from food and Is highly elated over
the result.
The Enterprise says: Professor
Putnam came to 8llver City July 11.
1892, from Columbia University, where
he was professor of elocution. He
was suffering from kidney trouble and
choose the balmy climate of New
Mexico in preference to that of the
Adirondacks or the Catskills as af-
fording him the greatest amount of
sunshine thus insuring an outdoor life
during the winter months. Shortly
after his arrival here, he decided to
put to a test the so-called fasting
treatment for his trouble and ab-
stained from food for fifteen days. The
effect was beneficial, but did not leave
him completely cured.
Early In May, Professor Putnam
left for the Olia Hot Springs, about
sixty miles from here, and there de-
cided to again abstain from food. “1
did not start out to fast forty days,”
said the professor, “hut to hold out as
long as 1 could. Finally when the
danger signal loomed up so large that
I could not longer afford to pass it by
unheeded, I decided to again resume
the eating habit. Just forty days after
I took my laat mouthful of food."
During the first thirty days of his
fast, the professor says he spent the
time in the open air near his tent,
working on his book, the concluding
chapters of which he finished while at
the springs, and which is now in the
publishers’ hands. During that time
he drank great quantities of the Oila
Hot Springs water and took the hot
baths. During the next five days he
refrained from doing any mental or
physical labor of any kind. During
the last five days the effec t of his long
fast became apparent and he had to
be attended by a nurse. Hp was so
weak he could not raise his arm and
had to be fed. On the morning of
the forty-first day he broke his fast
by taking soup made of plasma, a
condensed food said to be pure pro-
teid. But the most remarkable thing
connected with his feat, is that not
once during his fast did he have the
slightest sensation of hunger, and it
was only with the first mouthful of
soup did the sense return to him and
he developed a voracious appetite, fol-
lowing the soup with grape nuts and
lettuce. For five days after his fast
he lay in bed, scarcely able to move
himself, but fast recovering his lost
strength, After the fifth day he was
able to move around and two weeks
later left for Silver City.
PURCHASING FARM TOOLS.
Boer General Snyman in City Buying
Implements for Mexico Colony,
General W. D. Snyman. at the head
of the Boer colony recently established
in the state of Chihuahua, is in the
city, coming in last evening with Gen-
eral Manager Nickerson of the Mexi-
can Central, in the latter’s private
car.
General Snyman is in the city for
the purpose of arranging for the ship-
ment of a lot of farming implements,
wagons, etc., which he purchased
some time ago when he was in the
east. The stuff will all go through
El Paso and will constitute several
car loads of Studebaker wagons,
plows, etc,, which will begin arriving
here in the next few days.
General Snyman says that every-
thing is now in readiness for the ma-
terialization of the colony. His co-
workers, Messrs. Fouche. Milan and
Commandant Jougbioet. are now on
the land and making ready for the
families who are coming shortly from
South Africa.
General Snyman received a cable-
gram a few days ago from General
Ben Viljoen in South Africa, stating
that he had the fifty, families together
and was ready to sail.
The scheme has met with such fa-
vor in South Africa. General Snyman
states that they will not at present
be able to take care of all those who
want to come to Mexico and settle.
If General Snvman can get through
with his business this morning he
will return on the Mexican Central
train, as he is anxious to get back
to Chihuahua and move his family,
who are now in that city, out to their
aew home in the colony reservation.

There is a unique strike on at Al-

with a badly hurt hand called at the
railroad company’s hospital In Alamo;
gordo to have his Injuries treated
One of the nurses told him the doctor
was aaleep and that he would have to
call again.
Later the sufferer returned to the
hospital and was again Informed by
the same nurse that he could not see
the doctor, as he was still sleeping.
The railroad man had to have relief,
so he went to another doctor and had
his wounds treated and dressed.
When the hospital physician learned
of what had happened he discharged
the nurse who had refused to disturb
his slumbers, and Tuesday morning
all of the nurses in the hospital quit.
They say that the nurse who sent
the injured man away only followed
the instructions of the doctor’s wife
in refusing to disturb him while
asleep.
The nurses arc out on a strike and
refuse to go back to work unless the
discharged nurse is reinstated.
