Anomalies and Curiosities of Medicine

CHAPTER IX
66/442

A pig was fed on what he vomited, and was sold in the market.

The boy continued in this condition for a year, and at last reports was fast failing.

Burroughs mentions a laborer at Stanton, near Bury, who ate an ordinary leg of veal at a meal, and fed at this extravagant rate for many days together.

He would eat thistles and other similar herbs greedily.

Johnston mentions a case of bulimia in a man who devoured large quantities of raw flesh.
