A Few More Words Abont the Declaration of
Independence.
The regnlnr annual meeting of the American
Philosophical Society was hold yesterday after
noon at their rooms. Fifth street, below Chcs-
nut. The society was established In 1744, with
Benjamin Franklin as Secretary. After a few
years of prosperity, the members, with tho ex
ception of its Secretary, were overcomo with
" apathy, and continued in that state nntil 1767,
when it was rejuvenated. What aided to secure
its prosperity then was the patronago"tf John
Venn. The use of the Council Chamber in the
State House was granted it. On the 20th of De
cember this association and a rival one, under
the name of the "American Society," were
merged together, under the title "Tho Ameri
can Philosophical Society held at Philadelphia
for Promoting Useful Knowledge." During tho
Revolution tho meetings were rare, for in Phila
delphia the enemy was stationed a great portion
of the time, and tbe meeting were stopped.
This society thenceforward continued prosper
ously until the present time. Its membership
has embraced the most learned of Americans,
and its aid to the prosperity of science and art
has been very great.
Tho rooms of the society are upon theecond
floor of tho building occupied by tho Water
and Highway Departments. They are warm and
. cozy apartments, with all tho comfort and plain
ness appertaining to a Quaker residence. Abou
the walls hang many lino and valuable por
traits one, of Jefferson, worth to the virtuoso
almost its weight in gold. Then there are
others of Peter Duponceaa, Chief Justice Tilgh
man. Dr. Chapman, Alexander Dallas Bache
and Robert Patterson.
About the walls are arranged many invaluable
relics. There is here a gravestone from Car
thage, evidently cut about the age when the
Christian era was dawning. It symbolizes what
is known ns the Astartlc worship.
Here also is to be found tho document called
the Declaration of Independence. A few weeks
ago an article in Tub Telegraph gave a history
of two depositories for this piece of manuscript,
and now the original itself appears. It is the
original draft of the Declaration of Indepen
dence, as it came from tbe hand of Lee, when
he had mado some alterations after Jefferson
had drawn it up. This document is remarkable,
in that it presents that paragraph which was
stricken out. It reads thus:
"lie (the present King of Great Britain) has
waged war against human nature itsslf; violat
ing its most sacred rights of life and liberty in
the persons of a distant people who never
offended him. Captivating and carrying them
into slavery in another hemisphere, or to incur
miserable death in thoir transportation thither.
-This piratical warfare, the opprobrium of infidel
powers, is the warfare of the Christian King of
Great Britain, determined to keep open market
vwbere men should be bought and sold, he has
prostituted his negative for suppressing every
legislative attempt to prohibit or restrain this
execrable commerce, and that this assemblage
of horrors might want no fact of distinguished
dye, he Is now excitiug those very people to
rise in arms among us, and to purchase that
liberty of which he has deprived them by mur
dering the people upon whom he also obtruded
them, thus paying off former crime committed
against the liberties of one people with crimes
which he urges them to commit against the
lives of another."
This document, yellow from the Influences of
time, is preserved In a strong frame. Jefferson
was not a jonrnalist, or he would not have writ
ten upon both sides of the pupcr. In this same
room, too, wc see the chair which ho almost in
variably used. Horo, too, can be seen the old
astronomical clock, made by John Kittenhouso,
one of the Presidents of the society, and which,
for forty years, was tho standard by which to
set Philadelphia llino pieees.
It is expected that tbe society will soou
evacuate tho present building occupied by them,
aud go westward. This property is owned by
it, but the city will require it, if tho new public
buildings go up. This subject is now under con
sideration. Yesterday afternoon, between 8 and 5 o'eloek.
an election for ofllccs to serve for the ensuing
year was neiu, wnu una result:

11ANT1NU AND JUS SYSTEM.
Uvijiyonb Ln heard of Banting, but it is sur
prising how little is known in Ibis country
either of him or Lin system what manner of
roan he is, or how far he is entitled to credit
s a discoverer. Yet Banting is an interest
ing man, and his system, if for nothing else,
is well worth studying as the production of
one who, neither possessing nor laying the
Hlightest claim to scientific knowlodge, has
by his philanthropy and his untiring teal
done what writers preceding him failed
to do disHeminatod information which it was ,
the task of abler men to gain. Banting's
fame and its foundation is a phenomenon in
scientific literature, and, if we would point a
moral from it, is another added to tho list of
oountless examples of devotion and energy
surmounting, with the slenderest opportu
nities, all obstacles.
In 1868 the fifth edition of Banting's
pamphlet on corpulence was published in the
United States, yet it is only quite recently
that the fourth edition was published in
England. In a word, Banting's third edition
was successively printed here as the fourth
and the fifth. The fourth, however, is his
last edition. That copies of it are somewhat
scarce in this country may be jndged from
the fact that the one from which we shall
presently have occasion to quote wo wera
obliged to import.
Mr. Banting's aim is merely that of a phi
lanthropist, anxious to contribute for the
good of his fellow-men what proved benefl
cial to him. Abont his writing there is a
great charm, of which he was unconscious,
for it is derived from his unconsciousness.
Of the art of writing he understands abso
lutely nothing; probably he could not, to save
his life, have written a work on any other
subj ect. But prompted by gratitude for relief
from misery, and yearning to alleviate that
of others, he wrote a book on the enre of a
malady at whose victims mankind have al
ways conspired to laugh, and, without the
least intention or buspicion on his part, made
it singularly interesting and funny. With
the candor of a child, he tells a'l his
little ailments and trials; he mentions
that at one time his stomach was so large as
to prevent his stooping sufficiently to tie his
shoes; that, to avoid jarring himself, he was
obliged to go down stairs backward. When
he speaks of the table, we find ourselves in
the presence of a goexl liver, whom, as he
runs over the items of his former bill of fare,
we cannot help commiserating' in bis self
denial, and applauding in the strength of bis
resolution to abstain. He confesses to a de
cided weakness for a certain dish; but who
can blame him, knowing what it is, or not
forgive him, as he does himself? "Being
fond of green peas," he remarks, "I take them
daily in the season, and I gain two or three
pounds in weight as well as some little in
bulk, but I soon lose both when their season
is over. For this trespass I finite forgive
myself." With blunt truthfulness he corrects
little misstatements that have crept into ac
counts of him. With a running commentary
of notes, he follows Professor Niemeyer, of
Stuttgard, in his lecture on Banting's System,
appended to the new edition of the pam
phlet. The Professor said : "I am
sorry to have been unable to ascertain whether
this William Harvey Mr. Banting's medical
adviser is a descendant of the great Willirm
Harvey, who, in the seventeenth century, by
discovering the circulation of the blood, laid
the foundation of our present physiological
system." Mr. Banting "He is not." The
Professor, enumerating the articles which he
believed to be allowed by Mr. Banting's die
tary, said: "Any kind of poultry, or venison,
a little pastry." Mr. Banting "I avoided
pastry." The Professor stated that, "until a
few years ago, Mr. Banting carried on the
business of an undertaker. Funerals, as is
well known, are eonducted with much pomp
in England; and he held the appointment to H.
IT. II. the Prince of Wales." Banting "I held
no such appointment, but was cabinetmaker,
upholsterer, and decorator to the Itoyal Family.
Funerals in England are frequently conducted
by this class." "A most ainuting scene,"
said the Professor, "in which the Princess
Mary of Cambridge played a part, appears
to be authentic, and is highly characteristic,
ner Itoyal Highness requested to see Mr.
Banting. He presented himself before her,
first in his former clothes, in order to show
her the old Banting, and then metamorphosed
himself before her eyes into the present
Banting, by throwing off one .coat after
another." Banting "This was not true,' but
a merejeu d'tprit of the public journals."
So intense is Mr. Banting's detestation of
fat that he can express himself in regard to it
only by new applications of words. "Obe
sity," says he, "I cnll a parasite; anything
that creates fat I call human beans." He
rigidly adheres to what he is pleased to style
the analogy, and steadily maintains the pro
priety of those terms, remarking that "the
word 'parasite' has been much commented
npon as inappropriate to any but a living,
creeping thing (of course I use the word in a
figurative sense, uk a burden to the flesh); but
if fat is not an' insidious, creeping enemy, I
do not know what is," and also, that "perhaps
I do not wholly escape starchy, or saccharine
matter, but scrupulously avoid those beans,
such as milk, sugar, beer, butter, etc., which
are known to contain them," One of Mr.
Banting's correspondents, howevar, out-
he rods him, for he speaks of going into the
uiUh i ntH of obesity.
So much for the man: let us turn to the
system which bears his name and yet is not
his. It is but asioiplo justice to admit that
Mr. Banting claims no more than that to
which he is entitled. He said, from the first,
that putting in practice the advice of a medi
ciil fiiend of his, he, a man of sixty-five, of
five feet five inches in height, weighing two
in:" tired and two pounds, had, in about thir
teen months, reduced himself, without detri
ment to his health, foty-six pounds. He
declared his conviction that others in a con
dition similar to what his had been, would,
under pood medical advice, be .bene
fited I' k tii-Ls Lvi'.ll. i U-
prefBTy disclaimed all scientiflo knowledge on
the subject. He dial not claim even for his
medical adviser, whose name he at first re
fused to disclose, the merit of disoovery: he
detailed merely the instructions whioh he had
received, and their important results. He
now asserts that he furnishes abundant evi
dence of the value of his conjecture; and no
one, on reading the new edition of his work,
with its prefixed and appended matter, can
ghinsay the fact.
What Mr. Banting really has accomplished
is owing to persistent publication, which had
the effect of stimulating discussion, and
bringing into notice a practice which, with
the principles upon which it is based, has for
many years been known to physiologists.
The extraordinary feature of the Banting
controversy is that, considering the light
which modern science has shed on the
economy of the body, writers should have
been found to cavil at the system. Perhaps
the cause of this was that, as the application
of the principles to the relief of obesity had
never been generally made, both principles
and application were comparatively but little
knows. This probably arose from the fact
that the prinoiples had never, before Mr.
Banting's time, beon reduced to such precise
rules as those adopted and carried out reso
lutely by him; and this, again, was probably
occasioned by the fact that physicians, as a
body, were indisposed to reduce to system
that which would form a treatment appa
rently so simple as to be practised with im
punity by anybody, and yet one which,
attempted without due regard to individual
organization, would prove highly dan
gerous. To a person with a taint of con
sumption, the deposit of adipose tissue
is literally of vital importance. Its
arrest produces dangerous, if not fatal, con
sequences. Wre see around us every day
most insane tampering with health. Moder
ate bathing, under certain conditions, is
healthful, and in certain diseases, curative.
Some persons practise immoderate bathing,
under improper conditions, for any diseases.
We have known cases in which thin, weakly per
sons have been subjected to a course of cold
douche baths accompanied with meagre diet.
Gold in contact with the body absorbs heat
from it. On the other hand, nature tends to
maintain it at its normal tempera
ture. Whence comes the surplus heat
which, when cold is applied . to it.
tends to accomplish that object ? From the
combustion of the fatty portions of the body
itself. Consequently, if the body is put on a
meagre diet, it is stinted in that which pro
duces fat, and if, at the same time, cold is
applied to the surface, its fatty tissue wastes,
and might be exhausted, since nothing can
yield without, diminishing, unless corre
spondingly replenished. WTe must believe
that the consideration of the evils that would
result from the abuse of a dietary for the
reduction of obesity restrained physicians
generally from, publishing one, and
actuated many persons who opposed
Banting's, for, indisputably, the princi
ples on which to base such a dietary have
long been known to many of the educated,
putting out of the question, scientists. The
Banting system, so-called, is founded on two
well-established facts all food is divisible
into fibre-renewing and fat-produoing ele
ments.. No food consists exclusively of either,
but the relative proportions of each in ordi
nary foods are known. Saccharine and farina
ceous substances, being fat-prodncing, food
in which they either preponderate or exist in
large amounts should be avoided by the
obeso.
To some persons, perhaps not the least
amusing part of Mr. Banting's work, in its
present edition, would be the letters selected
from nearly two thousand sent by the afflicted
of all ranks and conditions, who by means of
his system had been relieved of the burden
which they were bearing through life. If we
except two, one of whom is a count, the
French correspondents of Mr. Banting are,
as might be expeoted, the most expansive in
their expression of gratitude to him. "Vous
avez des grands droits a ma reconnaissance,"
writes a Frenchwoman; ' 'pour m'avoir delivree
d'un fleau qui faisait le desespoir de mon ex
istence." A French merchant writes:
"J't-tais triste et dSsesp6r, malhoureux, et
j'affligeais tons ceux qui m'entourent. Vos
conseils, cher Monsieur, m'ont rendu a moi
mf me, a ceux qui me sont chers." One is
reminded of Sterne's perruquier, who sold
him a wig. "But I fear, friend," said Sterne,
"this buckle won't stand." "You may im
merge it into the ocean," was the reply, "and
it will stand."
Mr. Banting says, "I deeply regret not
having secured a photographic portrait of my
original figure in 1862, to place in 'juxtaposi
tion with one of my present form. . It might
have amused some, but certainly would have
been very convincing to others, and astonish
ing to all, that such an effeot should have
been so readily and speedily produced by the
simple method of exchanging a meagre for a
generous dietary, under proper advioe. Mr,
Banting may rest assured that his regret is
shared by all who have read his book, for
surely none so instructive was ever half so
amusing- it would be complete with a por
trait of his former and one of his present self,
either of whioh would be the likeness of a
thoroughly good man.
Had Mr. Banting, when he entered
on his crusade against obesity, been
young, handsome, and ambitious, he
might have occupied the proud position pre
dieted by Brillat Savarin as tbe reward of
him who should bring it under dominion
"Had I been," says Savarin, "a graduate of
medicine, I would first of all have written a
good treatise on obesity, then I would have
established my empire in that nook of
science; and I would have obtained the two
fold advantage of having as patients people
in the very best health, and of being daily be
sieged by the loveliest portion of mankind; for
to have 'just enough plumpness, not a whit
too much nor too little, is to woman the
Here, as elsewhere, Mr. Banting's enthusiasm la

"juar" mid "gwnrvus" tu suit Uis pwrvvs
study of her life. What I have
not done, another doctor will do; ani if he
be at the same time skilful, discreet, and a
good-looking fellow, I predict that he will
accomplish wonders."
Another, not a doctor, not at all
the sort of person prophesied, has suc
ceeded in the appointed task, who, if he pos
sesses cot the attributes mentioned, has
equally well accomplished it, and rests satis
fied with his reward. In Tain did runch and
some magnates in scientiflo circles level their
gibes at him, he has won the day. Single
handed he has invaded and conquered the
world, and, by thousands, princes, peers,
counts, baronets, offioers, merchants, trades
men, clerks, and ladies have lost sufficient
flesh to join tho host marohing in his train,
singing, "Io triumph ! we weie fat, we are
