their systems are to-day and have long since
boon discarded. Hippocrates with his views
about the four fluids or humors and his "ex-
pectant treatment" was a long way in ad-
vance of hlspre(lecesBors as his views are now
far short of those of his successors but jt't
in his day he was often reproached with let-
ting his patients die by doing nothing to keep
them alive. Theprnctico of many of this
generation is t allow the pationt to eit
freely Instead of dieting almost to starvation.
Galen the practical anatomist was fearfully
deficient in myology and his angiological
' knowlodge aud dissertations wero pronounced
fraud. Harvey the physiologist and dis-
coverer of the true circulation of the blood
exploded the dictum of Praxngor as that the
arteries were full of air and not blood and
yet Harvey experienced the treatment which
is the lot of nearly all innovators and after
the publication of his treatlso his practice
frightfully declined and hail it not beon for

knowledge with Its requirements has met
with similar fute as that of science and
religion. Wise men who are eagerly press-
ing forward in p mult of truth are grateful
to every one who cloars or blazos an inch of
the way for them. It is only the mediocre
man who disdains this aid looks upon new
things as startling paradoxes and damnable
heresies. Thus it is that we of to-day laimh
at the jargon of Bacon the vagaries of
Aristotle and smile at the errors of Prax-
gorasand Galen. But in this we trust we
are guilty of no irreverence toward that great

knowledge and ideas of astronomy that ob-
tained fifty years ago havevory materially
altered since than. While the heavens are
as jot comparatively but as a sealed book
many pages have been turnod In the pas
half century an such learned authors as
Proctor and Tice and others have thrown
new light from the very stars themselves
upon a science that In the days of Keppler
and Herschel was but in its swaddling clothes
Lyel and Hugh Miller and the other great
delvers of their day and time
progressed very far in the science
of geology but many of the theories that
obtained then have beon exploded for newer
onee that are now accepted in the geological
curriculum. We all know how little was
known of electricity a century and a half
ago. Franklin enticed it from me skis by
means of his kite string and bottled it up
and Morse with his telegraph instrument
batteries and wires made it the servant of
man obedioBt to his dictation on the earth
and beneath old ocean's waves ; but in these
latter days Edison baa loarned more and told
more of the subtlo fluid than all the other
scientists ever .knew. Even man himself and
bis origin has been Indeed Is yot a profound
mystery but Darwin and other students of
anatomy nd pbysiolosy have penetrattd
deep into the arcanum of this grand holy of
boliot and we can come nearer than ever
bofore of obeying that injunction
Man know tliysolf." Is it reasonable
then that the science of medicine stand
till ? Docs not our correspondent Escul - pin
himself progress in his profession? Have not
the experience of the years he has been prac-
ticing medicine the idlosyncracicsof disease
that he has observod when by the bedsides of
his patients tlio varied effects of the remo-
ics ho uses in tho cases he treats enabled
im to advance boyond the Ideas and opin-
ons he en'.ertnincd wbon first he left the lec
ture room of the college to enter upon the
rand work of his admittedly excellent life
ministering unto suffering humanity? Why
twonty or thirty years ago as Esculnpius
miiBt know the treiitmont of fevers was gen
erally by starvation by blood-lotting dosing
with calomel and tartar and not a
rop of water could tho poor sufferer have
lave perhaps a swallow aftor the air hfidbeen
kon from It by a coal of fire. AVhat
would the profession think of a physician who
pursued that course now? In continued
fevers those of tho typhoid or so callod ty-
phoid type the sustaining course is pursued.
Just as little medicine as possible
is administered and tho patient is
fed on stimulants and ford- of
the most nourishing kind. Will Eiculnpius
s i j that is not the case? Will Esculapius say
that the present' treatment is not a scientific
advance above and boyond the old system
of even his sect? He has no doubt read what
Dr. Gray who at first advanced the theory of
the present fever system wrote closing his
remarks with the requost that if no bettor
epithet could be found for his monument
when he was dead to inscribe upon it '"He
fed fevers." Under the ancient regime a
cholera patient was stuflod wilh calomol and
allowed no water nothing to -cool his in
ward burning heat while now onlv astringents
are used with porfect ouiotudo and stimu
lants. Cholera as is well known does not
xit as sporadic cases in enldomU form like
fevors but is always an epidemic. In formor
times the physician attributed it to atmos
pheric causos and accepted it as a matter of
course. ow tho physician looks about
him fof causes; hunts for cesspools
and filthy sewers and othor. contagion-
breeding abominations and removing the
causo stops the epidemic. Is not this pro
gression in tho scionce? If then tho scionce
of medicine has otherwise advanced why
should it not also In the matter of food and
its uses? Look at the different schools bf
medicine the Allopathic the Homeopathic
the Botanic the Hydropathic etc. do thoy
not all differ as to the modoi of treatment?
But a fow years ago evory one of these schools
believed the other radically wrong yet wo
will ask Eioulaplus if all these schools do
not now profit by the theories of the other?
For instance Esculapius can remember possi
bly wnen ne bad measles and how terrible
thirsty he was and how the cruel doctor gave
him only sheep saffron tea as hot as ho could
drink while now be gives hit little measles
patients ice walor cooling thorn internally
ana inro wgout the eruption to the surface
He remembers how hot water applications
used to be the practice or the steam doctors
and how cold wet sheets and douches and hip-
cams u tne practice oi too nydropathlst now
We might go on and give many more illus
trations of the Idea we wish to convoy and
to show Esculapius what "a man of straw"
he has set up in his communication
and like that Don Quixote nt ix
plumed his lance for a tilt all
Ana now to come more oiroctiy to the tilt
which he has choson to make at us. The fact.
are simply these: Sometime since our at-
tention being directed to repeated remark in
several of our exchangee In the matter of
wis lanner rast we stated what appeared to
be a quite general feeling whether corrector
not we did tot say. We merely announced
a current positive fact and of whose exist-
ence we were of course not responsible for
and we likewise gave tome collateral facts
and suggestions arising out of them Hin0
lachrymas 1 Hence any such tilt at us as to-
day made is to say the least Ulogioal. He
should have aimed his blows at the alleged
fCtjor their originator not at us thmer
medium. But a we have on previous occa-
sions stated thai "we stood ever ready to argue
any question of general Interest from proper
opponents and properly presented we have
so concluded to waive the informality that
true heraldry requires an 1 flash the scimetar
of controversy against the weapon of our
Esculapius. It is not to our taste or inclina-
tion but wo proceed on the Instruction of
Polonius to Lwrtes : "Beware of entrance
to a quarrel ; but being in so bear it that the
opposer may beware of thee." And now
what is the grievance of our friend ? Simply
two short editorials of the Hkrald one of
the 22nd of July and the other of the hi
of September Inst and elsewhere repro-
duced in this Issue. How ni'.h only those al-
lusions to the Tanner case the author
of that communication can refute our "edi
torial remarks from time to time" we are
utterly at a loss to comprehend. But when
we have regard to the assertion that we "have
not only misrepresented the views and state
ments of the medical protession concerning
fasting and have attempted to cast ridicule
upon their labors" because we indicated
what is the fact that cannot be cont overted
viz ; the fraternity were so fearfully at odds
on the starvation question seeking to urge
the view that a man could not starve forty
days'we are lost in amazement at its reck
leesness. About the middle of July last the
Now Orleans Democrat and the Times re-
spectively caused to be interviewed several
of the leading and renowned physicians of
that city as to the object of this fast and
some of these made most peremptorily the
statement that the fast could not be eon-
ducted tor forty days. Others said it was
possible but that the doctor would have to
put himself upon most careful diet just after
tho experiment was ' over. . Now
then what does the Hkbald say?
"There is no doubt but that the experiments
and experience of Dr. Tanner have most
materially unsettled the faith of thousands
of people as to the knowledge of the medical
fraternity. They first said a man could not
starvo for as many as nino days and as Tan-
ner disprovod this they avorred he could
not do witbouteating for twenty days. And
then when ho fasted forty days they meanly
urged that ho had been docoiving the people
and had eaten in the interim." (Mere fol-
lows a quotation from an exchange.) This is
precisely in conformity with the statements
of some of the Now Orleans physicians who
wero interviewed and Which we will publish
within tbo next few days as soon as received
per our ordor. Again president Dr. Lon-
don Gray in a lotter dated Brooklyn July
10th to the New York Tribune Btnted: "Dr.
Tannor professes to bo ablo to do what has
never boon dsne in tho history of the
world." We feol sure that he is a sin-
cere enthusiastic man came among us to
demonstrate with an honest though it may
be an irrational pride his ability to do
what no niBn has done bofore him."
How illogical unsustainable and uncalled
for thon is the remark of Esculapius that
our "strictures are unwarranted and not sus-
tained." Another remark of tho 11 krald is :
"But again they told us ho would collapse if
he did not begin eating very cautiously."
This is just the statement of others of the
physicUns in print and we are quite sure it
was the very goneral opinion of tho physi
cians and of othor "loss learned" pcoplo than
Esculapius. "And lo he baffles them again
by eating at will peaches and watermelons
and beefsteaks applos etc." Now these aro
facts; every line and evory word is true and
yet Eaculapius'puts on tho black cap to pass
sentence on us and asserts that we mako -what
? "A charge of superficial learning on
tho part of physicians and of a deception
practiced by thorn on tho public. " Now
whoro is any such chargo in all our InngUHgo
pray good Esculapius ?" That language is
swooping and ours cannot bo so interpreted.
Indeed tho assertion is about as sweeping and
as accurate as that wheroln Esculnpius says:
"He Tanner peremptorily refused to accede
to the requirement "of being su
pervised by the Neurological society if ho
would subscribe to certain regulations by
which he could bo strictly watched etc."
Now did you not know good Esculnpius.
that Dr.! Tanner (Juno 25) sent to Dr.
Hammond surgeon-general and president of
the Neurological society of which you speak
this proposition: "I will accept your last
proposition (to live forty days for
$1000) Without taking any kind
of nourishment provided it does not
include abstinence from wator will also sub
mit to any conditions the medical gonttomcn
you hive named (Drs. Dalton Flint and
Arnold) shall impose stipulating only that
the roam where the experiment is to take
place shall be largo light and well venti-
lated." Again "That he was closoly watched
by members of the meJioal protession is ut
terly untrue." Now the Hkbald made no
such statement. It is not nominated in tho
article or articles criticised and hence again
savors of that Don Quixotism that used to
raise up windmills in ordor to fight thorn
for glory for the ladie love and the admirer
Sancho Panza. But waiving what the courts
denominate dilatory or abatement pleas or
ploas if you please to the jurisdiction let u
pass to the merits. At the incipiency of and
throughout bis fast Dr. Tanner "invited all
medical societlos in Now York to appoiut
watchen who might act in conjunction with
his own or entirely independent of them."
His fast began at noon on the 20th of June
and was conducted undor the supervision of
continuous watchors appointed by the United
States medical college. After the first week
a number of allopathlo physicians arranged
among themselves to keep up a watob which
with the exception of few interruptions
was continued to the end. The New York
Herald also established a watch of its owu
after the first week which was kept up to
the end without a moment' Interruption. On
the 2nd day of the fast Dr. Landon Carter
Gray first !ce-president and thon acting
president of the New York Neurological soci-
ety wrote to Dr. Tanner: "It is now so late In
the season that it may be Impossible to as-
semble the proper gentlemen of this society.
But if it prove impossible to
gather them at present I will call another
meeting in the fall." To this Dr. Tanntr
immediately answered "that the fait had al-
ready commenced and that he bad already
informed Dr. Hammond be could not stand
the delay and expense in New York until
fall ami earnestly requested Dr. Gray to call
a mooting of the Neurological society
once and appoint watchers to be with bim
during the fast offering every facility for
observation" etc These too are fact of
record and do not warrant the statement
Eiculapius that Tanner "bad forfeited the
e 'ufidence of the medical pubuo at largo"
or does Esculapius mo.tn to say that all vir
tue all wisdom all truth is resident alone in
the particular medical school of which he is
a member? Does ho mean to say that he is
wedded to an arbitary medical code of ethics
that demands that only thoy be believed
who are ;'the accepted thereof?" Are the

nor to go for nothing in their btatemonts ?
it re they to be wholly discredited wbon they
uoriiire that they "are prepared t'
certify ir.der oath that the doctor took
no food daring their respective watches ?"
Is all or any of this in accordance with the
elementary rules of evidence? And then
there wero bets of thousands of dol
lars on the result. Surely hal
there " been any hocus pocus in
tho affair something would have
loaked out ere now. Here is direct corrob
orating positive evidence whose probative
force is not to be destroyed nor invalidated
by inferences of a negativing character. It
has its base on absolute perception and to
this hour remains unimpoached. Assuming
if you choose that all requirements arbitra-
rily Insistod on by ono sect wero not com
plied with is that an argument to refute the
assertions tho certificates of othor equally
competent and honest peoplo who with ar-
gus eyes and ambitious yearnings in a sensa
tional direction performed one of the easiest
acts of close vigilance over one poor mortal ?
This view of the case is confirmed by the can-
dor and sincerityof Dr. Wm. A. Hammond
surgeon-general and president of the Neuro-
logical society in Now Yoik when be says in
his statement of the 4ih of August : " I
think the watchirg has beon honestly con-
ducted though at limes as I have under-
stood it may hnvo been negligent I be-
lieve he has faithfully abstained from all
food but water. I believe that he has shown
that alleged instances of fasting a mouth or
more without tho symptoms of inanition be-
ing produced are fraudulent. 5Iy offer for
tho fall which he will accept he says is still
open but I hope for his own. sake he will
not accept. The 'fcientiflic' results are not
what thoy should be but nevertheless enough
ties been shown to cause us to modify our
views in regard to tho effects of
inanition on the human body."
Add to this the New York Herald watch.
This its city department staff had as a
part of its duties to examine everything bo-
fore it was handed to the doctor and also to
hand it to bim. One of thorn invariably
accompaniod tho doctor on his carrlngo rides
and at no time during a moment of tho
thirty-three days wore tho eyes of tho Herald
reporter away from the personality of the
doctor. Along with this was a double watch
ofsixteon men for each twonty-four hours.
This vigilance cost the Herald between $l60o
and 51700. Add to this yot another thing
viz: "that every particlo of matter vomited
by Dr. Tanner was rigidly analvzed by
the physicians and not the slightest trace of
food was evor found in this and other dis-
charges nothing but tho waste of the system
and the liquid imbibed. As a still more rolia-
b'o detective to test the entire honosty of the
faster tho microscope was kept busy on duty
and readily told the fidelity of that taster's
work. In view of all these facts how pecu-
liar bow reckless we say seemed tho expres-
sions of our Esculapius when he says Tanner
"is a man of straw" for this is a contradic-
tion to what tho president and tbe vice-
president of the Neurological society says of
the doctor; when he says bis profession "is
one too modest to parade before tho
public its learning end loo joalous of the
interests of science to endorse a
patent hammock side-show so called fasting
experiment;" when ho says : "Physicians we
emphatically state did not deny the nossi-
bility of Tanner' accomplishing a foat of
tasting forty days ;" when he snys: "Tanner
peremptorily refmed to accedo to the require-
ment of the Neurological soo'ety and there-
by forfeited tho confidence of the medical
publio at large;" when he say "that he was
closely watchtd by members of the regular
medical profession is utterly untrue;" when
he says "merely a few regular physicians
dropped into the hall occasionally" etc.
Compare these statements and intimations
with what wo have above given by scientist:
reporters and other gentlemen on tbo spot
and we must at onoc perceive not only their
weakness but an absence if nothing else of
information upon which they should be based-
We had not thought to say unytbing further
than what we had already said on the subject
of the Tanner fast but "Esculapius " com
munication bos required a reply. We had
not spoken "unthoughtedly as his kindly
feeling proposes for us; we rarely do. What
we do say we invariably bavo a warrant for
a reserve corps of Information and facta to

taou3nts and expressions. Sometimes we
have need of tbem sometime not but nev-
ertheless we always take care to have them
For the rest we may say that for the medical
