REMARlCARtildffilirllF ENORMOUS OBESITY. • • "Irma-- The.following is an abstract of the history of a case of enormous obesity, which affords some carious and in. teresting physiological facts, and may serve to warn folks of the dadger of excessive eating : ][tucker (of Beriln)...for that was the fellow's name—did not, like Bright. Ahrens. Clay ,and other trulygroat personages, 'liana himself mach in his youth, but was content to eat and drink the same quantity of food as his neighbours. About the age of thirty be began to give way toe disposition to devour inseam maimed meat, and the mere be eat the more his appetite increased, Dan bib time was consumed to little else than eating and sleeping. His Deception was that of a butcher. and animal food was his favorite repast, contrary to the usual habits of such peoples &ocher, hew. ever, would devour from eight to ten anode of tripe at a meal, or from ds to seven pounds of beef and sausage& :He motioned in all way to stuff himairgradually becoming lamer.oestil it required slam pounds ofbeef daily to satisfy his hunger!

He could ea tasst himself in dioramas* maniac tety, as be would eat the asisead mist by the posed, spreadlog it over bread with as little eenwassr as the people spread treacle. Byway of breakfast, or sapper. be would clean from two to three dozen of the pmtitoes of pigs; and it appears, at last. to have puss sled his friends to know how to supply him. His usual drink was beer. of which he daily drank from two to three quarts. In ibis way he continued to feed himself, gradually increasing in hulk, his breathing becoming more difficult, and his power of locomotion daily diminishing, until he was at last obliged 10 confine himself to his large chair and his bed. Every now and then be was in great danger of suffocation, and it was on one of those occasions that Grade. who has related the ease in one of his recent Numbers of his Journal, was called to bins. He foetid the man stretched ant upon a bed, complaining of a very difficult respiration, to such an eaten,. as to express his tear of being absolutely choked. Hie lips were of a doll violet colour, his eyes appearing to start from his head, the conjunctival lining being of a bright red colour; the entire countenance was of a dark aim son ; and the pulse wan tremulous, irregular, and frequently inter mittent. He complained also of great palpitation of the heart ; al thank from the immense projection olds, abdomen, and the huge pendulous breasts. it was in/pomade to bring the band upon the part of the chest covering it. He could ashy speak at intervals, and that with great difficulty. The abdomen protruded, so as to cover the upper half of the thighs; and on several parts of its Immense distended surface were round reddish *pots, at about the 4th of an lath in diameter, bard and painful to the touch, somewhat resembling small lipase or fatty tumours. 'Crocker was 5 feet 4 Inches high; the circumference of his abdomen was five feet five inches; the circumference of his thigh. two feet four inches; of the calf of his leg, one foot seven inches; his breasts measured one foot eight Inches in circumference at their bases, and were eight inches long, bring almost as pendulous as those of the Hottentot women. HI. weight, at the time he was put under Gracie's tare, wee about 41.0 pounds; but immense as this weight may appear, other instances are on record of those who bays exceeded It. The fat man of Leenwarden, who was eabibired before the medical faculty of Leyden, sod taken about from place to plate In Holland in a boat as a show, weighed SOS pounds • the woman, whose his tory is given by Guns, weighed 492 pou nds; Ahrent, 450; and out countryman, Edward Bright, the fat man of Essex, as he was commonly called, weighed 616 pounds. This patient (Krocker) was rescued from his immediate danger by copious and frequent bleedings, by large doses of calomel, and the substitution of fasting far his enormous stuffing. Purgative medicines were frequently gives, a stfictly vegetable diet, and vege table acids, were ordered; and, in about four weeks, he was re duced to about 516 pounds. In the space of four months, during the half of which time be mot large doses of lodine, with occa sional purgatives, the iodine being found very much to accelerate absorption, he was reduced to about 261 pounds and enjoyed good • health—was active, cheerful, and able to resume his former bua tiesa. At the time the history of the case was concluded (August 10, Vico), he was reduced to 2c9 pound.; his health being good, and his appetite moderate.—Loose.

This was an indictment against four defendants, Bell, Judkins, Rice, and Norris, members of the Bakers' Company, for an assault upon Thomas Jacks, a member of the same Company. At the trial before Lord Ten. terden, at the last London Sittings. it appeared that the -transaction took place at a Meeting of the Corporation ,on the 7th df November.

This was an action brought to recover the sum of Si. 9s. 6d. being the balance of a promissory note for 121. dated March, 1826, payable at three months, given by the defendant, who is a wig-maker in Seale street, Lincoln's Inn. to a person named Broad, indorsed by Broad to the plaintiff, who is an attorney in Nor- Akhrhhhfland-streets Strand. 'hum the evidence for the plaintiff, it appeased that in the month of November, 1825, he, being , a creditor of Broad to the amount of 241.95. received Broad's -acceptance for that sum, pay able three months alter date. The acceptance, when due, was dishonoured. and Broad applied to the defend ant, oho was indebted to him, to settle the debt due to, the plaintiff. The defendant, having agreed to do sa e gale Broad two promissory notes, one for 121. payabh; at three months after date, and the other note wail drawn in blank. The, defendant had, by several pay ments, reduced the amount of the two note, to the sum now sought to be recovered. The defence set op was, that, as one of the noes was in blank. the plaintiff could not maintain an action upon it, and that thi plaintiff had said the amount of the other nu e bad been duly paid; but as the defendant refused to pay the blank note which he (the plaintiff) had Pisi,. an action would be brought upon the 4 . paid' note. The; defendant's son and another witness, swore, that the aintiff had made the latter declaration before the don was brought. . ' His LORDSHIP, in summing up, put it to the Jury. whether it was not more probable that the witnesses had 'mistaken what the plaintiff had said, than that he, being as attorney, should, in the presence of the defendant's friends. have said that he would bring an action upon a note already paid? 1f the Jury should think the sums paid by the defendant were paid specially upon the note dolt executed, then their verdict would be for the de fendant ; but if the Jury should not be satisfied that those payments were made for that special purpose, then their verdict would be for the plaintiff; because, he being the creditor of the defendant upon two notes, had a right to apply. in satisfaction of the blank note, 121. of the sum. paid to hint by the defendant.
