My Debut as a Literary Person Quotes

“Considering the situation and circumstances,
the record for the next day, May 29,
is one which has a surprise in it
for those dull people who think that
nothing but medicines and doctors can cure the sick.

A little starvation, can really do more for the average sick man
than can the best medicines and the best doctors.

I do not mean a restricted diet;
I mean total abstention from food for one or two days.
I speak from experience;
starvation has been my cold and fever doctor for fifteen years,
and has accomplished a cure in all instances.”
― Mark Twain, My Debut as a Literary Person
