The case of Miss Faucher of Brooklyn, who was supposed to have taken no food for fourteen years, was fraudulent.

He says that Ann Moore was fed by her daughter in several ways; when washing her mother's face she used towels wet with gravy, milk, or strong arrow-root meal.

She also conveyed food to her mother by means of kisses.

One of the "fasting girls," Margaret Weiss, although only ten years old, had such powers of deception that after being watched by the priest of the parish, Dr.Bucoldianus, she was considered free from juggling, and, to everybody's astonishment, she grew, walked, and talked like other children of her age, still maintaining that she used neither food nor drink.

In several other cases reported all attempts to discover imposture failed.
