' 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
