He tried every kind of remedy for obesity: Turkish baths, violent exercise, spa treatment, drastic dieting; purgation; all to no purpose. Not only did he not lose weight, many of the treatments made him gain. At length, because he thought he was going deaf, he went to an short stories (single author) ear, nose and throat surgeon called William Harvey (no relation to the Harvey who discovered the circulation of the short stories (single author) blood). This remarkable man saw short stories (single author) at once that Banting's real trouble was obesity, not deafness, and put him on an entirely new kind of diet. By Christmas, 1862, he was down to 184 lb. By the following August he weighed a mere 156 lb.—nearly right for his height and age.
