After fasting for 67 days at Barry Island, Suth Wales, Billie Brown gave up recently. This was said to be due to the fact that Sacco, who had been fasting at Blackpool, retired on the previous day. When Brown was examined by doctors he was found to be very weak and his heart was beating feebly, although he was in good spirits. Brown lost 561 h in weight during the fast. SaccO, who styled himself the world's champion faster, began his fast at Blackpool one day after Browa.
