    About this ebook

    In May, 1910, Cosmopolitan magazine published an article by Upton Sinclair describing his personal experiences with the practice of fasting for health reasons. The article received such an enormous response that the magazine requested a second one. This volume is comprised of those two articles, and is a snapshot of the health beliefs of the era.

    Upton Sinclair

    Upton Sinclair (1878-1968) was an American writer from Maryland. Though he wrote across many genres, Sinclair’s most famous works were politically motivated. His self-published novel, The Jungle, exposed the labor conditions in the meatpacking industry. This novel even inspired changes for working conditions and helped pass protection laws. The Brass Check exposed poor journalistic practices at the time and was also one of his most famous works.  As a member of the socialist party, Sinclair attempted a few political runs but when defeated he returned to writing. Sinclair won the Pulitzer Prize in 1943 for Fiction. Several of his works were made into film adaptations and one earned two Oscars.
