THE DOCTORS AT FAULT.

It has been said quite often enough that
Dr. Tanners starving experiment cannot
have any practical use. 1t will have at
least this use, that it will expose the
falacy Of medical dogmatism on the sub
iect of abstinence 1t has been asserted in
medical textbooks for long time that
such feats as DR.. Tanner has already
achieved are impossible. He has now
lived twenty-four days without food, and
during ten days of that period he was
without water also. Another very re-
lnarkable circumstance is that after he had
tasted for twelve or thirteen days, his
weight began to increase, and he actually
gained four pounds in two days. AS it is held
by physicians and Psychologists that the
body consumes its own tissues when not
supplied with food, the increase in weight
is an embarrassing fact. Indeed, DIR. Tan
ner has very obstinately controyerted quite
a number of well established theories about
what happens during the process OF star
vation His mind has continued clear, his
strength has not declined, his pulse has re-
manned normal, and in fact he has under
gone mono of the physical changes which
the books declare unavoidable. If he
should live to complete his forty days fast
and there appears now to be no reason
why he should MOTT will be necessary to
reconsider number of questions which
have hitherto been regarded as closed.
This alone will be considerable gain to
science, and would perhaps be cheapiy pur-
chased with the collapse of DR.. Tanner.
