MISCELLANY
Some extraordinary instances oi
abstinence are recorded in Medical
works, but we do not recollect anv,
that in all respects can be compared
with this :
“ Ann Moore aged 48, now living
at Tutbury, m Staffordshire, lias
swallowed no kind of food whate-
r, either solid or fluid for the last
two years and a half. Her appetite
began to decline about seven years
ago, in consequence of a weak di
gestion, and in March, 1807, the
passage to her stomach became com
pletely closed, so as not to admit of
her swallowing a single drop of wa
ter ; from the pit of her stomach
downwards she is a mere skeleton,
notwithstanding which her counte
nance is perfectly cheerful, and has
the appearance of good health. So
late as last Sunday she was visited
by the writer of this article and was
then in excellent spirits, and felt no
pain whatever, except a slight shoot
ing over her forehead ; she has been
offered £ 1000 to visit the metropo
lis, and though poor, she declines
leaving her home & friends. She ne
ver sleeps, but amuses herself by read
ing all night, Sc receiving the visits of
vast numbers who daily flock to her
humble roof. Her memory is ama
zingly retentive, and she feels no in
convenience but from the approach
of persons who have been drinking-
spirits, which affects her much. Nu
merous medical men have gone from
London, to behold this wonderful
phenomenon, and on examination
are fuiiy convinced, from her ap
pearance, that no imposition whate
ver has been practised.”
