The Man who Never Sweats,

The case of Peter Vending, the Leb-
anon man who never perspires, hereto
fore mentioned in the Eagle, was fully
described by DR.. j. FL. Messe, of Leb-
anon, in the Dental Times, in 1871, as
follows: "Mr. Vending is about 3S
years of age. He never had teeth de-
veloped in his jaws, but his gums are
very hard and resisting. Over the al
veolar ridges they seem to be almost a
callous, or bone foundation, enabling
him to masticate the hardest substances
most readily. He is also destitute of
the sense OF taste and smell, and yet he
is not without choice as to food and
drink, arising, suppose, from certain
stomachic excitements produced by his
favorite articles. He is great lover Of
beer and oysters; but, as to the latter,
he knows no difference between a bad
and good one-eating the putrid as
eagerly as the fresh. He never per-
ceives (and is, therefore, perfectly hap
by in the atmosphere OF offensive odors.
The skin over his entire body is dry and
raspy, and utterly devoid of sebaceous
glands and hair follicles, with the ex.
ception of a small portion of his face,
where few wiry hairs have struggled
into daylight. The sudoriferous glands
and their ducts are also wanting, a cir
cumstance which causes him much suf-
fering during the summer season, more
particularly when the weather is warm
and the atmosphere dry. He then, for
the sake of comfort--and perhaps pres
ervation of life itself-must cover him.

damp cellar. Here he sleeps, lying on
the damp earth. When the writer of
this was but boy this anomalous being
was in his fathers employ ON the farm,
and this peculiarly was often terrible
annoyance to myself and Others, as we
were obliged to relieve his agony from

bucket upon bucket over his writhing
form. Well DO / remember his 'Ah |

tie longer than We thought TO be. On
these occasions his symptoms were those
of asphyxiation; otherwise he is appar-
emily possessed of good health. These
conditions seem to be partly hereditary
on the maternal side, since his mother
had a brother with nearly similar de-
fects, though the man himself is the
only one out of a family of nineteen to
whom these imperfections have been
transmitted. He is also himself the
father of seven healthy children, in
whom not trace Of his own misfortune
is TO be found. Upon the whole, the
case of Mr.. W. may be ranked among
the freaks of nature which defy explana-
ton. "-Reading (Pa.) Eagle.

the Bitters is unrivaled; it mitigates the infrm-

the gentler sex, arrests premature decay, and
builds up an enfeebled physique.
