"Sadistic and greedy quack" Dr. Linda Burfield Hazzard starved people to death at her makeshift sanatorium, called "Starvation Heights" by the locals. Hazzard's nonsensical, dangerously misguided book Fasting for the Cure of Disease (1908) was a best seller. Among her victims was Daisey Maud Haglund, the mother of Seattle restaurateur and king of publicity stunts Ivar Haglund.
