d.. Tanners Triumph.

DIR. Tanners wonderful feat of fasting
forty days was successfully performed,
and that the fast was honorably perform
ed, is admitted by all. During all that
time he took no nourisliment, save that
contained in water. Like the hibernat
ing animals, his body lived upon itself,
and consumed 81 pounds of its own sub
stance. But the most remarkable part
of the whole feat, is the admirable man
ncr in which he resumes eating. He took
liquids, such as milk, water melon,
grapes and wine in abundance, eating
all he wanted and distcnding the stomac h
to its utmost capacity, and this without
pain or injury. He eats every hour and
is rcgaining his lost weight with a rapid
ty which is marvellous. This whole cx-
pertinent has set at naught the old theo'
ries of the physicians touching the ques'
tions involved.
