Staggering out of his glass coffin, Fakir Burma broke a world record fast at Lille on Sunday night with 92 days 2 hours. Previous record, that of a German, was 81 days 5 hours. His first meal on Sunday night was a fragment of toast with cheese and fruit juice. Doctors said he would be unable to eat normally for three months and that it would take a year or two to restore his lost weight (38½ lb). June 22, 1954. (Photo by AAP).
