A Terrible Eater:

One of the most remarkable gluttons
on record was French soldier named
Tarare, who used to eat whole basket
full of apples at one sitting. He was fond
of corks, and On one occasion tried to
deyour watch chain. When but seven
teen years old Tarare ate twenty-four
pounds of meat in as many hours. Some
army surgeons, wishing to study his
habits, gave him quadruple rations,
pickings and waste meat, liberal diet
which the patient used to supplement
by dessert Of poultices stolen from the
hospital. Tarare liked serpents and
eels, and did not disdain cat meat. Once
he consumed, in few moments, a repast
spread out for fifteen workmen, and on
another occasion swallowed thirty
pounds of liver and lights. 1t was even
asserted that he once dined off baby.
Tarare's face was pleasing and his man.
ners mild and gentle.
