Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: TOO-TUM
TRYON, THOMAS (16341703) ,
English
  humanitarian, was born at Bilbury near Cirencester on the 6th of September 1634. He had but little schooling, spending his youth first in spinning and
carding
  and then as a shepherd. In 1652 he went to London, apprenticed himself to a hatter, and accepted his master's Anabaptist principles until he read the works of Jacob Behmen. He now lived a very ascetic
life
 , though he married and became a prosperous merchant. In 1682 he began to publish his views in support of
vegetarianism
  and
abstinence
  from alcohol and tobacco. He detested war, and in this and his
mysticism
  resembled the early
Quakers
 . He died on the 21st of August 1703.
His best known book, The Way to
Health
  (1691), which much impressed Benjamin Franklin, was a second edition of
Health
 's Grand Preservative; or, The Women's Best
Doctor
  (London, 1682). He wrote on many other subjects, e.g. the education of children, the treatment of negro slaves, the way to save wealth, and dreams and visions. Some scanty autobiographical memoirs were published in 1705.
