THIRST WoRsE THAN HUsGER.-The
disturbance to the general system which
is known by the name of raging thirst, is
far more terrible than that Of starvation,
for this reason: during the abstinence
from food, the organism can live upon Is
own substance; but during the abstinence
for liquid, the organism has no such sup
ply within itself. Men have been known
to endure absolute privation OF food for
some weeks but three days Of absolute
privation Of drink, unless in moist at
mosphere,) is perhaps limit of endur-
ance. This is the most atrocious torture
ever invented by Oriental tyrants i, is
that which most etfectually tames animals.
Mr.. Ashley, when he had refractory
horse, always used thirst as the most EFF.
fectlve power OF coercion, giving little
water as reward for every act of obe-
dience. The history of shipwrecks paint
fearful pictures of suffering from thirst J;
and.on Of the most appalling cases known
is the celebrated imprisonment of one
hundred and fortysix men in the Black
Hole of Calcutta - Blackwood.
