THE ONI0N RE'CORD.
Cause and Cure of Obesity.

In q paper read before the Paris
Academy Of Sciences, NJ. Dancel ad-
yerts to circumstance often overlook
ed By professional men who have made
the cure Of obesity their peculiar study,
and which may be of interest to many
persons desirous of ridding themselves
of inconrenient corpulency. Mr.. Dan
eel made the following:
While collecting observations con-
cerning the cure of obesity on men, he
remarked that those who fed on sub
stances containg little or no fat matter,
did not diminish in corpulency when
they drank much, and it struck him
that water and watery substances must
favor obesity. The experiment he
made proved this to be fact, and he
now expresses surprise in his paper at
finding that, among the many expert
ments tried for the fattening of ami
mails, the water often absorbed in con-
siderable quantities by the subjects was
never taken into account; while he now
shows that water plays a great part in
producing obesity, as may be perceived
from the following experiments:
Among the horses of the regiment Of
the Garde de Paris there was one re-
markable for its leanness. At DIR.
Dancel's request, the veterinary sur
geon Of the regiment diminished its
daily ration of oats by a kilogramme
and half, without modifying its ra-
ton Of straw and hay; but at the
same time it was provided with abun-
dance Of water, into which fom time
to time, little bran was put, so as to
make up total of a pound per day.
On the 22d of May last, this horse
weighed 512 k;logrammes; on the 9TH
of June, being the fifteenth day, it
weighed $50 Kill; on the 18th its weight
rose to $50 Kill, an increase Of Is xii.
in the course Of twenty seven days, al
though the pound of bran was no equiv
alent for the three pounds of oats daily
saved. In the same regiment there
was an exceedingly fat mare, that could
scarcely carry its rider, and, like fat
people, used 10 drink a large quantity
of water, as much as 60 litres per day,
the quantity was reduced to Is litres
per day, and the animal has now lost
its obesity, and resumed its former
vigor.
