OBESITY.
LETTER ON CORPULENCE,

Of all the para' lies that tilled humviity I d.i 1
not know of, nor can I imagine, any more d -
tresilag tbaa that of Obesity, and having ,1 nt '
merged from a very long probation In this allllc- I
Uoa, I an) desimas of circulating my bumMc I
knowledge and experience for the benefit of mv
fellow-man, with nn earnest hope It amy lead to
the lame comfort and happiness I no feel und r
th extraordinary change which might aim t
be termed miraculous, had it not been ace on- !
lisbed by the most simple cominon-seu-e means. ;
OTinstTT MOT APPRRUtATRIl.
Oliesity teems to me very little undercolor 1

latter would have spared their Irjnilli ious Inlul
pence In remarks and si ecrs, fre iicntly pilnfal '
in society, and which, even en the stnngst !
mind, have an unbnppy tendency; but ;I sin- '
Oerely trust this humble efTort at expoiltion miy I
ItMtd to a more perfect ventilation of tbe s j'ije .-t j
and a better feeling for the aflllctcd.
It won Id afford me Infinite pleasure and satli.
faction to name tbe au.iior of my redeuipMuu
from this calamity, as ho is the only one tlnl I
have been able to find (und my search b is tut
been sparing) who wms thoroughly up in thn
question ; but such publicity might iie construed
improperly, and I have, therefore, only to oif 'r
Hiy piTSonal experience as tlie stepping stono
to iiulillc Investiga ion, and to proceed with my
narra'ivo of facts, earnestly hoping the reader
Will patiently peruse and thoughtfully consider
it, with forbearance for any fault of stylo or dic
tion, and for any seeming presumption in pub
lishing It.
?1IS At'TBOR BHHOLVF.8 TO ASSIST THE AFl'MCrF.n.
I have felt some difficult' in deciding on tin;
proper and beat course of ac'.ion. A,i one tine' 1
Uiought the editor ot the Lancet would kindly
publish n letter from me on the subject, hut
further reflection led me to doubt whether an in
ignificant individual would he noticed with nt
acme special introduction. In the Anrii number
of the Cumin U Muijazine I read with much in
tercut nn article on tbe subject dcliniti? tolera
bly well the effects, lint uirering no fnnirihlo
remedy, or even positive solution of the problem,
"What ii the cause of obesity f" I was pleased
with tbe artie'es as a whole, butobjoctod to some
portions, and bad prepared a lot:er to theeditorof
that magazine offering my experience on the sub
ject, but again it ttruck me that an unknown
Individual like myself would have but little pros
pect of notice; so I iitiully rc.-olved to publish
and circulate this pamphlet, with no other rea
son, motive, or expectation than an earnest desire
to help those who happen to be alllictcd as I was,
tor that corpulence is remediable I am woll con
vinced, and shall be delighted if I csn Induce
others to think so. The object I have in view
' 4Tf ano to enter into minute particulars, as
as gODcral observations, and to revert to by
(, iie years, in order to show that I have spared
do pains nor expense to accomplish the groat end
of stopping and curing obesity.
PBIISOHAL DESCRirTIOX.
I am now nearly nixry-six years of ago, about
Ivr leet live inches in mature, and in August last
IK.I2) weighed two hundred and two pounds,
wb.ch I think It right to name, because tbe article
hi the CornhiU Mnijn:ine presumes that a certain
nature and age should bear, ordinarily. certain S

weuth one hundred and sixty. seven pound, shutv.
Ing a diminution of something like one pound per
week since Angus! ; and having now very nearly
attained the happy medium, I have perfect confi
dence that a few more weeks will fully accom
pli.!! the object for which I have labored for the
iat thirty j ears in vain, until it pleased Almighty
J'rcudencc to direct me Into the right and proper
chnnuol the "train-way," so t i speak of happy,
tcuiiortahle existence.
Few men have led a more active life bodily
Or mentally Irom a constitutional anxiety fir
regularity, precision, und order, during fifty
years' busintss ca.ecr, from which I have now
rctred, so that my e nuul -nee and suhseijti.-nt
olcitty was not through neglect of neces- iry
Ijedy actnity, nor from cxcisnlvo eating, drink
ir(T"or Btlf-imlulgence of any kind, ex'ept that I
ph look of the eiinplo aliments of bread, milk,
butter, beer, sugur.and potatoes more freely than
my :if ed nature required, and hence, im I b.ill iv i,
tbe generation of the parasite, detrimental to
iwitott if not really to health.
KXI'EKIKNCkH 01' TIIK Al THOU.
I will not presume to descant on the bodily
ttnietutal tissues, so ful.y canvassed in the Cum
nil Mogv.hie, nor how they are supported and
ret ovated, having no mind or power to enter In o
thctb questions, which properly belong to tllQ
vibe heads of tbe facu'ty. None of my family on
tbe fcide of cither parent bad any tendency to
coipi lence, and from my earliest years I had
an inexpressible dread of such a calamity,
to. when I was between thirty und forty years
of age, finding a tendency to it creeping upon
me, 1 consulted an eminent surgeon, now long
deceased a kind personal filend who re
commended Increased bodily exertion boforo
mv ordinary daiiv labors bet-an. and thought
row ing an excellent plan. I bad the eomin ind of
ip oil, heavy, tutu boat, lived near the river, und
adi.med it for a couple of hours in the early morn-
inn It Is trnc I gained muscular vigor, but with
it a prodigious appetite, which I was compelled
to it dulite, and consequently iucruascd in weight.
until my kind old friend advi-od uie to forsake
the exerciM.
lie soon afterwards died, and as tbe tendency
to corpulence remained, I consulted other hlgti
orthodox, authorities (never any interior adviser),
but all in vaiu. 1 have tried sea air and bathing
iu various loouiuifs, with much walking exercise
taken gallons ot phytic and liquor potussa-, ad
vi.ediy and abundantly; riding on horseback;
tbe waters and climate of Leumington many
tunes, sot well a those ol Cheltenham and llarroiv-
cate frequently ; have lived upon sixpence a day,
so to speak, and cumed it, if b dily labor m iy be
so constiued ; and have spared no trouble nor
4 xnns in consultations with tbe best authorities
in the laud, giving e tch an il all a fair tune for
experiment, without any permanent remedy, ns
the etil still gradually iticria-eJ.
1 am under obligations to most ef those
advl.ersfor tbe pains aud interest they took in
xu; cue ; but only to one for au effectual remedy.

ANNOYANCE 01 1'1'BLIC NOTICB.
I have been In dock, jwrhaps, twentr times in
a many years, for the reduction of this disease,
and with little good effect uono laitinir. Any
one so afllieted is often subject to public remark,
and though in conscience he may care littio abaut
it, I am confident no man laboring under obesity
can be quit insensible to the sneers and remarks
of the cruel and injudicious in public assembl es,
public vehicle, or the ordinary street traffic ; nor
t the annoyance of rinding no adequate space in
a public assembly if he should seek amusement
or ued refreshment, and therefore he natural y
kp away as much us possible from place
where b is likely to be made the object of th
tauuta and remark of other. I am a regard'es
of pub ic Ttnmrk aa most men, but I have felt
these dilncuttie,, aud therefore avoided such cir

cni rally what t have nc Ion to ta'c, aad th it
man must he an extraordinary pern in who wjuld
desire a better table :
lllKTAItY rt.AN.
Kor lircakf.iit, I tiiko four or live ounce of beef,
mutton, kidneys, broiled tiih, hacin, or col l
meat ot anv kind except pork; h inrifn cup of
tea (without milk or xug ir), a li'.tle biseui', or
one ounce of dry too 4.
For dinner, live or nix ouncei of any ftiih ex -opt
minion, any meat except pork, any rciteta'ila
except potato, one ounce of dry to ist, fiuit out
of u pudding, any kind of poultry or l'Aiiio, and
two or tnree glumes of good claret, sherry, or
Madeira champagno, port, and bojr for
bidden. For tea, two or three ounces of fruit, a ruslc or
two, and a cup of tea, without milk or suiar.
For supper, three or four ounces of meat or fi.ih,
ilmilar to dinner, with a glasa or two of ci tret.
For nightcap, If required, a turn iler of grog
(gin, whisky, or brundy, without sugar) or a
piling or two of claret or sherry.
Tuii plan leads to an excellent nlght'd r'-t,
with from six to eight hours' toum! sleep. Tlio
dry toast or rusk may liavo a ta'ilosprjuuful of
spirit to soften it, which will prove acceptable,
l'erhapa I did not wholly escape starchy or stehn
rii; ma tor, but scrupulously avoided those beans.

ALLOWANCES OF HOLII1S AN 11 LIUUIDS.
(n rising in the morning I take n spoonful of
a special corrective cordial, which m iy be called t be
ftaltnot I.iln, in a wlne gla-sof wat T.a in ist grate
ful draught, ns it seems tocarry away all the dreg
left in the stomach after dlges'tion, but it is not
aperient; then 1 take " or ti ounces nt solid and 8
of liquid for breakfast; 8 ounce of solid, an 1 H
of liquid for dinner; .') ounces of solid and H of
liquid for tea; 4 ounces of solid and (i of liquid for
supper, and the grog afterwards, if I pie nil. I
am not, however, strictly limited to anv quaii'lty
at either meal, so that the nature of the food is
rigidly adhered to.
Kxjaricnce im taught mo to believe th' tbeso

Bueh an enemy if he is not a fool to himself, a i l
I fervently hoo this truthful unv iruisliei ta'o I
may lead him to m-.iko a trial of my plan, which
I simerelv recommend to publics notice, not with
any ambiiious motive, but Iu sin era go id faltli
to Help my tellow-cru.itures to obtain tun marvci-

1 no not recommend every corptueu' min to
rush head'ong into such u chan.r i of diet (rer
tainiy nut), but lo act advisedly and alter full
coubiiltation with a phvBicinn.
HIS FOHMK.K DIET.
My former dietary table was bread and milk (or
breakfast, or a pint o' tet with plenty of milk
and sugar, nnd huitcred toast; meat, boer, much
bread (of which I was alwiy ve-y fond), and
pastry for dinner, the meal of tea similar to that
of breakfast, and generally a fruit tart or bread
and milk for supper. I had little comfort and far
less sound sleep.
COMl'AHISONS.
It certainly appears to me that my present
dietary tablu lsfr superior t i tbe former tu ne
luxurious and liberal, independent of it blessjd
elleet but when It is moved to bo moro health
ful. Comparisons are simply ridicu ous, and I nin
hardly imagine any man, even in sou ill Health,
would choose the turnier, even if it were no', au
enemy ; but, when it I shown to ho, as in my
case, inimical to both health aud comfort, I can
hardly conceive there is any man who would not
willingly avoid it. lean cou.cieultous'y assert
I never lived so well ni under tho new plan of
dietary, which I should have formerly thought a
dangerous, exiruvasMii' trespass upon health. 1
ii m very much better, bodily and mont ill ', and
pleased to believe that I hold the reins of beiltb.
and comfort in my own hands ; and, though at
sixty-live years of ego I cannot expect l i re
main free from some coming natural infirmity
that all tle-h is heir to, I cannot, at thn pre, eat
lime, complain of one. It is simnly miraculous,
and I am lucnltlul to Almighty l'.Mvele i ! for
directing me, through au ex, riur tinarr eh i r e,
to the care of a man wlncmhl work sii 'll t

Corpulence, though giving nt
apiH-urs to me, must nutunJly
no a tual pain, as it
press with undue
violence upon the bodily viscera, driving ono
part upon unother, and stopping the free action
ot all. 1 am sure it uiu in my particular ease,
and the result of my experience is bnelly as
follows :
I have not felt eo well eg now for t';c las', twenty
years.
Have suffered no inconvenient e whatever in the
probutiunul remedy.
Am reduced many inches in bulk and fh rfy-liie
pounds in weight in thirty-eiglr. weeks-.
Come down stairs forward naturally, wi-.b perfect
ease.
Co tip (fair and take ordinary exercise freely,
without the slightest inconvenience.
Ci'.a perform every necessary olflce lor myself.
The umbilical rupture i greatly ameliorated, and
gives me no anxiety.
My light is restored, my hearing improved.
My other bodily uilments are amcbora'ed in
deed, almost passed into matter of history.
A THANK-orraaiNO.
I have placed a thank-offering of 30 in the
blinds of my kind medical adviser, for distribu
tion amongst bis favorite hospitals, alter gladly
paying hi usual feet, and (till remain under
overwhelming obligations for bis care aud atten

inellectiially sought, which appeirs inn esary t i
health at my age and stature, I feel Imp 111 I. by
a sense of public duty, to olfer the results ol my
experience in a second edition. It has been stu
gusteil that I should hive sold the pauipli ct,
devoting any prolit lo charitv, as more ugreetbie
nnd useful ; and I had intended to ad ipt eJ 'i a
course, but on relleenon feared my motives might
be mistaken; I therefore re-pocfullv pre-cm tins
(like tbe liist edition) to tho puohc. gr.ituit xisly,
earnestly hoping the subject may be taken U;i by
meutcal men and thoroughly ven il it.d.
COM FOKTINd IIKarl.TR.
It may (and I hope will) bo as atlr irtnry to
the public to hear ns It Is for me to stntj, thu ."t m

ing results to of er sullerers from corpulence, as
tbe remedial systom therein described wis to me
under that terrible disease, which was my ma il
object in publishing my C'l ivictions on th.! sub

llattering compliments, and an amount of atten

pleasure ami satisfaction this bas ntf inlc j m 1

I have incurred ; nnd I m ist sincerely trust, "as I
verily believe," this second edition will boaecitn
paniid by similar satisfactory results fro tn a more
extensive circulation. If so, It will inspirit mo to
circulate further editions, whilst a ctirpu'ent per

l'LUHONAL AFl'I'.AHANCK IMl'UOVLH.
My girth is reduced Mun i the waist, in tailor ;
phraseology, twcive and n quarter inches, which I
extent was hardly conceivable even by my I
friends, or by my respected medic il tnlviser,
until I put on my former clothing over what I
now wear, which was a thoroughly convincing ;
proof of the remarkable change. Thn.su import- ;
ant desiderata have been iiitiiued by tho most,
easy and comtortablo means, with but little medi
cine, and almost entirely by a system of diet that
formerly 1 should have thought dangerously :
generous. I am told by all who know me that ,
my personal appoarance is greatly improved, and j
that 1 seem to bear the stump of gold health; j
this may be a mattor of opiuiou or friendly ru- J
murk, but I t an honestly assert thitl fuel ru-
stored in health, "bodily and mentally," appear
to have more muscular power and vigor, eat and
diink with a good nppcti'e, uud sleep well. All
swnptoms of ucidity, indigestion, and heartburn
(With which I was frequently torniontod) have
vani-tied. I have left oil' using b lot-hooks, and ,
other tuch aids, which were indispensable, but !
bt ing now able to stoop with ease aud freedom,
are unnecessary. I have lost tho feeling of ore i- j
i,,)i(W 'ninfnrss, and what I think a rem irkable :
blessing mid comfort is, that I havo been able '
safely to lcuvo oil' knee bandages, which I bad 1
worn iiec,.v(ii Wy lOr 20 pad years, and given up a I
truss nlmo-t entirely ; indeed, I believe I ni ght
wholly discard it with safety, but am advised to ,
wear it ut leust occasionally for the present. '

1118 POUMF.U MHUICAL AH ISF.IIS.
Since publishing my pamphlet, I have felt con- ,
stiuined to send a copy of it to my former medical I
advlsi rs, und to ascertain their opinions on the ',
subject. 'They did not dispute or question tho
propriety of tho system, but either dined not ven- ;
lure its practice upen a man of my ago, or thought '
it too great a sacrifice of personal comfort to be j
generally advised or adopted, and I fancy neither
of tliem appeared to feel the fact of the misery of
corpulence. One eminent physician, ns 1 hefiro 1
stated, us-uied mo that increasing weight was u ,
necessary result of advancing yearB; a nother, ;
equally eminent, to whom I had been directed by
a very ftlemilv third, who bud most kindly but j
inellectuii ly i'uilcd in a remedy, added to my j
weight In ii'l'cw weeks instead of ubatiug the evil.
These facts lead mo to holievo the question Is no:
bulll' iciitly observed or even regard-id.
Tbe great charm nnd comfort of tho system Is,
that iu ellecls are palpable within a week of trial,
which creates a natural stimulus, to persevere t ir
u few weeks more, when tho laet becomes esta i
lished beyond question.

tcr. Solomon bus said, " A m-rry heart doetb
good like medicine, but a broken spirit driatn
li e bones." This observation, however, c i-mot
he considered a ruin in forming n judgment of
Ysrious tempers This is by lo menus an easy
attempt iu our Intercourse with tlie world, when
physiognomy is not always a t.ure guide in tho
selection of our companions. Dr. Franklin tells
a sinitulur story on tin subject :
"An old philosophical guntlem ill hvl grown,
from fxpcticiice, tory cautious in avoidant i'l
n. itured people. To endeavor to ascertain 'heir
ilisio-itii.n lie mailo use of his legs, one of which
tves rt niaikably hunlsoin"; the o her, by -onio
hci ident, crooked and lit formed. If u sir ingur
nt the Iir' t Interview regarded his mrlv !c more
than his handsome leg, he (loii 'tct linn; but
it lie spoke of it, nnd to k no notl c of
his hai.dsonio leg, thut was s'llllci.! it to
dctiriiunr the philosopher to have ni further
acquaintance with him. Kvorybody has n it this
tivo-lcgc cd instrument ; but every one, wiMi a
little a'teiition, may observe signs of this carping,
iuult-linding disposition, and lake thn sameicio
lution of avoiding tho ncquaiuta ice of those
inlicteil by it. 1 therefore alvisc thii-o queru
luiiH, di-contciit'.d, unhappy people, if ihey w ish
to be respected nnd beloved by others, and
huppy in themselves, to lem e off tanking at the
vijht try."
' Various expedients, in addition to a bo' tor diet,
have been resorted to to restore lean person to a
better case; but among the most singular that wo
have ou record is that of llag. Ilu'ion. i den says
that horscdeulors, having been ob-erved t f it on
liur-es for salo by Hogging them, an analogous
method might be useful with spare persons who
