' EATING. | As I have numbered excessive eating . amongst the causes of depreciated health, so must I now mention temperance in food as one of the prime remedies for it, and preventatives against it. Learn, there! fore, now "Qu? virtus et quanta sit vivere , parvo When we consider that the manner in which life is supported is by the perpetual wasting of the body, and a perpetual reproduction of it out of the blood?and when we remember that the simnl? ???i sole object in eating is to make up to the blood the deficiency thus occasioned in it ?it must be manifest to us that tho exact amount of food required daily is precise ly just as much as shall be suflicient to restore to the blood just as much as the blood has lost in supplying the waste which the body has undergone during twenty-four hours of life. To make this more simple and clear, let us suppose, for argument's sake, that the waste of the body in twenty-four hours, is just twenty-four ounces. Now, when these lost twenty-four ounces of the body have been restored to it out of the blood, then the blood will have lost twenty-four ounces. And the object of eating being wholly and exclusively to supply this deficiency thus produced in the blood, it is perfectly evident that the quantity > f food required in twenty-foui hours, is precisely so much as shall be capable of conversion into twenty-lour ounces of blood?that being the exact supposed quantity which the blood had lost in supplying the waste of the body in twentyfair hours. I do not mean to say that twenty-four ounces do indeed form the precise quantity of daily waste; hot it seemed necrssa ry to fix on some defimtc and specified quantity in order to illustrate the principle of eating, the more plainly. Theic is, in fact, no fixed quantity of waste, for ihe quantity must always be in nroio.riion i r ------lo the quantity of bodily exertion undergone. And, for the same reason, so neither can the quantity of fond daily necessary be cither fixed, definite or specified* . , Now, if a man eat more food than is necessary to supply the loss which the] blood has suffered, one of these two things 1 must happen. It must either he assimilated or not assimilated?or, to use the common erroneous language, digested or not digested. If it be assimilated?that is, converted into blood, then it is clear that there will he more blood in the vessels than there ought to be. Let me illustrate again.? Suppose the case of a healthy man?so healthy that he cannot be healthier. Let us suppose the whole quantity of blond in his body to be thirty pounds. Let us further suppose, that in tweiuv-fanr Vir,., one pound of Ins blood is lost in supply* ing the waste of the body. Now, if tliis man eat, in one day, so much food as will produce a pound and a half of blood, what follows? Why, that his blood has lost a pound of its volume, and gained a pound and a half in its stead. Or, in other words, that the whole quantity of blood has been augmented by just half a pound ?so that his system now continues just have a pound too much. If this man were (o go on adding half a pound to his stock of blood, and if it were possible for him to escape appoplexy, or some other deadly disease; and if nature, foreseeing that | her children would turn out to be gormandizers, bad not, in some measure, unarmed against the evil, it is plain that bis blood vessels must soon actually burst under the distension. But nature has, though i only in part, made a provision against 1 i this evil. For when, after having supplied the waste of the body, there is still 1 remaining an undue quantity of blood in 1 the vessels, the vessels relieve themselves 1 and reduce the quantity of blood bv the ' secretion of fat?thus restoring the biood's volume to a due standard. How beautiful is the economy of nature! The fat 1 of the body may be most aptly likened to honey in the comb?a store laid by . for a season of want. For whenever the supply of food becomes insufficient for the supply of the body's waste, this fat i is again taken up by the lymphatics, and ! carried into the blood, becomes itself i blood, and thus supplies that deficiency i in the blood's volume which would, In a i season of want, be produced by scarcity j of food. But the fat. as fat is of no use whatever ' n tlio Knrl i- i I rtnoj *' ~ "1 .. uuvn III/I aim til IIS MI KIlglll ?on the contrary, it is an incumbrance i to its machinary, and, in more ways < than one, an evil. The fat, quasi fat, does not form a necessary part of the body any more than the paduing and wadding of a fashionable coat form a necessary part of the coat. The padding ot tVe coat docs not add an iota to the. strength I and quality of the original texture of the i cloth?and the coat would be just as good i without it. All that the padding docs is i to add to the beauty of its appearance.? i So of the fat?it contributes nothing to i the health and strength of the body?nor does it form a necessary part of the body ?it might be all cut away without detri mem to flic body?and even, if it were not for ibe skin which covers if, almost without pain?it has nothing whatever to do with the body, saving only as it adds to the beauty of symmetrical proportion ?to external appearance. It has no more concern with the health and strength of the body, than the coat padding has to do with the texture of the cloth whereof the coat is made. I know that in the leanest persons, there is still a certain portion of fat deposited in particular parts, as behind the eyc,v&c.: but this is merely for. the purpose of giving to the tout ensemble of the body a certain appearance of symmetry and beauty of outline. What, for instance has the fat behind the eye to do with the power of seeing? But, without it, the eye would have the disagreeable and sinj ister appearance of being sunken too < eoply in the head. He therefore, who eats too much, even though he assimilates what he eats, and oiii/iiiu uc conciliate enough to escape nppoplexy and some other deadly diseases, docs not add a single ioto's worth to his strength, lie only accumulates fat ancl incurs the evils thereunto appertaining? one amongst the many of which I will mention.. I mean the accumulation of fat about the heart?making him puff and blow like a grampus, and interfering to a most dangerous degree, with the heart's action. But neither does he add to the size and weight of his body, properly so called. He may indeed add to the size and weight of his body's fatty envelope, as the tailor may add to the padding of the coat, but both the one an^lhe other, properly so called, still remain unaltered. A man's strength resides in his muscled, and bones, and tendons, and ligaments? in his brawn and sinew?and his degree of strength depends upon the size and substance of these; ancl if he were to eat a herntomb of oxen every morning for his breakfast, and, like Gargantua, swallow a windmill for his dinner, and a church for his supper, he could not add to his size and substance one atom?nor alter tlicir original healthy dimentions? no, not in the estimation of a single hair. Remember then, that it is a most miscsable and misrliievmia iu J>uvj i\i oupj ?U3U that the more a man eats, the stronger he grows. If a man require daily one pound of food to supply his daily waste, recollect that, although he may eat double that quantity, yet he will not he one atom stronger, nor longer, nor broader, than if he had eaten no more than the one necessary pound. He will have enveloped himself in an extra layer of fat?ho will have added another portion of padding to the coat?but he himself like the coat, will remain in statu quo, with the additional chance of walking some fine mor ning, and finding himself kilt dead by a fit of apoplexy, lie who cats more than ho wastes, with a view of making himself SlrOliOrpr. i<* cm'llv nf ts ?' ? & ; ?? mu same folly as he would be who should continue to pour water into a vessel already full, with the view of filling it fuller. But, in some constitutions, if a man eat greatly too much, the secretion of fat may n*)t be sufficient to relieve the overburdened vessels. Now, if this man should escape the usual diseases resulting from plethora, then there is, in literal fact, an imminent danger that some one or other of his vessels may actually burst, and so destroy him, by bleeding from the lungs, or some other aciive and deadly haemorrhage. "What warrantry have you that your constitution is not one of this kind? \Vc arrive, therefore, at this inevitable conclusion, viz. that he who eats more than is necessary to supply his waste, pven although the whole be well and truly digested, not only does not increase bis strength thereby, but really incurs tho danger of destruction from several probable causes, and is constantly walking heedlessly in the'*valley of the shadow of death." Put. if the other and more frequent cir cumstance happen?if what is eaten be not properly assimilated?then that which remains unassimilnted becomes a souico of great irritation and numerous morbid symptoms. I' ferments in the stomach and bowels, as it would do in any other close, warm place, and the gases given out during this fermentation, and the acids generated thereby, arc neither more nor less than poisons, and, of course, highly injurious to health. If therefore, a man under these circ^um stances more man is necessary, naming ran bo moro manifest than that he only adds to the evil ho wishes to remove.? For sinco his assimilating powers can only assimilate just sufficient to supply the body's waste?and, in these circumstances, not evf n so much ? it is surely most clearly evident, that, by adding to the quantity eaten, he only adds to the quantity which is destined to be left unassimilatcd, anil therefore to give out a still greater portion of those poisonous gases ami acids above mentioned. And an increased quantity of these poisons must produce an incicased quantity of mischief to tho health, and thus it becomes plain that, so
