Human Rur1indnts Not

The first case of a human ruminant
reported in a scientific journal was
that of Robert GIL, a cobbler of Dor

the British Annual Register under date
of October 1, 1857.
In ancient times and in the Middle
ages men who chewed the cud were
apparently very far from rare, but
modern science would be prone to dis
miss such tales were they not sup
ported by evidence of more recent
time. Roger Gill died after suffering
great tortures" due to the loss Of his
strange faculty.
Gill usually began his second chew
ing a quarter or half an hour, some
times later, after dinner, when every
morsel came up successfully sweeter
and sweeter to the taste. The chew
ing continued about an hour or more,
and sometimes would leave him for a
little while, 'in which case he would
be sick at his stomach" Many other
and later instances might be cited of
