An awful story of gluttony comes from
London, England. A young tradesman in
the Marylebone Road ate an enormous din
ner, and five minutes afterwards dropped
dead. In his stomach were found a pound
and three quarters of solids nn--is'fHs of
mass ofbalf masncated vegetables, mixed
with humps of beef and mutton, weighing
half an ounce each while his intestines
were cranmed with food still undigested-
showing that it was pure gluttony and not
want that made him eat so voraciousfy. He
died from spasms of the heart, caused by the
pressure of an over-distended stomach.
