When this is not done, nature, as the next best means to be em ployed, throws off such offending matter by vomiting or purging, thus avoiding otbvs form* of diseaxe, if as disease these friendly manifestations may be regarded. - I well know that there are persons w ho Iwlirve that one must eat or soon die, but, they forget that Dr. Tanner lived for forty day*, tfiking cniy water, and that othei-* have lived Klill longer, and that in high fevers and aculo dU-UMx, wlten the appetite is entirely waiwoded, sev eral weeks may pass while the (atient U fast ing.
