The following extraordinary case of absti- 
nence from food is given in the Staffordshire 
Advertiser :—=** It is not upon light authori- 
ty that we should choose to give insertion to 
the following case. Supported, however, as 
we are, by the credence of the most respecta- 
ble gentlemen of the faculty, whoare desirous 
to draw the attention of the profession to 
further inguiry on the subject, we proceed to 
detail the following particulars, which are 
formed from the difterent communications of 
medical men.—Ann Moor, a poor woman of 
Tutbury, inthis county, has Jived upwards of 
fourteen months without food! The testi- 
mony of the woman herself was of course 
discredited, and she consented to be removed 
to a neighbour’s house, to be watched for any 
length of time that was deemed sufficient to 
give a colour of truth to her report. This 
was accordingly done, and she was constantly 
watched for seventeen days and nights, and 
regularly visited by three surgeons once or 
twice a day. ‘Till the end of fourteen days 
she did not even drink any water, which the 
had been accustomed to do in very small 
quantities, when she felt a nausea at her sto- 
mach. She now findgthat this issemaved by 
Charles 
Leicester—Staford—Warwick. 
[Nov. 1; 
wetting her tongue with damp cloths, by 
which she escapes the pain of swallowing as 
befure, which was very considerable. During 
the length of time of the above fourteen 
months abstinence, water, and tea, without 
either milk or sugar, had been her only beve- 
rage. She has been in bed the whole of the 
time. Her pulse is very little under the 
standard of good health, but, as may be ex- 
pected, her frame is excessively reduced. As 
this extraordinary woman is still living, we 
recommend her case to the attention of the 
faculty, and doubt not that they will consider 
her as a subject deserving of very minute con- 
sideration.” :
