...Russell coryell, creator of Nick Carter and author of romantic novels signed "Bertha M. Clay" and articles on "the benefits of fasting" under the name "H. Mitchell Whatchet." Another great Macfadden ally was Mother Teats, the Carry Nation of physical culture, who sipped grass tea and fought under the slogan: "Intercourse for Procreation Only...
