city to get the best expert advice. Then 

 he tiu-ned to nature and to nature's God. 

 I was pretty close in touch with him all this 

 time, for I was pretty nearly in the "same 

 boat." The doctors said I could " never be 

 a well man." As Terry climbed away from 

 grim Death, he told about it in the Practical 

 Farmer, and afterward, at my special re- 

 quest, he put it in book form. From a mul- 

 titude of testimonials I will select just two 

 letters. 



During the spring of 1910 1 was taken sick. Our 

 family physician was called in. He treated me sev- 

 eral weeks. I continued to get worse. I could walk 

 around and work some during the first part of the 

 treatment, hut finally I had to stop all activity. I 

 suffered day and night. Then I called in another 

 doctor and continued to get worse until I was re- 

 duced in weight from 156 to 128 pounds. Then I 

 went to a nearby town and entered a hospital for 

 treatment. I was there five days without taking a 

 dose of medicine; was examined by two doctors. 

 The fifth day I asked them why they did not treat 

 me. I was informed that they had just located my 

 complaint and were ready to begin treatment. I 

 asked the amount of charges during the time I had 

 been there, and was presented with a bill for $20. 

 I paid it and started for home. In the meantime I 

 had ordered Mr. T. B. Terry's book, " How to Keep 

 Well and Live Long." On reaching home I deter- 

 mined to study it carefully and follow its teachings, 

 which I did from that day to the present date. Tlie 

 4th, 5th, and 9th chapters were my chief studies. 

 I followed instructions closely. I cut out everything 

 that Mr. Terry advised, even my tobacco, which I 

 had used for 30 years, and today I feel as well as 

 T ever felt in my life. My present weight is as 

 usual when I have good health. I am fully con- 

 vinced that; one who will read, study, and live ac- 

 cording to instructions of Mr. Terry's book, " How 

 to Keep "Well and Live Long," will never have 

 occasion to call in any but a surgical doctor, 

 as they will have no sickness, barring accidents. 

 And to those who are sick I beg to persuade you to 

 secure Mr. Terry's book and follow its teachings 

 and cast aside all drugs, and you will surely have 

 health. — C. C. Lindon, Emmerton, Va. 



GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE 



In the March, 1910, issue of Gleanings in Bee 

 Culture I first read the introduction of your book, 

 " How to Keep Well and Live Long." The descrip- 

 tion of Mr. Terry's case, as given there, struck me 

 as being very similar to my own at that time. 1 

 was suffering with a general breakdown of health, 

 and under the care of a good doctor, but did not 

 seem to get much better. I ordered a copy of "How 

 to Keep Well and Live Long," and after a careful 

 reading was very favorably impressed with the plain 

 and forcible manner in which things pertaining to 

 health and illness were explained and set forth. Also 

 the plain, inexpensive instructions and suggestions 

 toward right living. I became convinced that I had 

 been working, breathing, eating, and drinking very 

 carelessly, and began to set about to make some cor- 

 rections and put into practice the teachings of the 

 book, gradually, at first, adding one after another 

 change as I re-read and studied it and became fa- 

 miliar with details. My first move in the right 

 direction was for better air by opening windows 

 top and bottom. How easy and simple! Strange I 

 could not have thought of it myself, years ago, but 

 did not^ — too busy and hadn't time. Then came the 

 water-filter, then later the flesh-brushes (a long- 

 handled one too) and sponge bath. Then the cut- 

 ting down of improper foods and substituting prop-
