One John Qrlscom, ostensibly in the inter- ¢sts of sclonce, more likely in the Intorests of notoriety, lins coma to this city, under the ausplees of the Rush Medical College, to seo 1t ho eannot outdlo the recent oxperiment of Dr. Tanner in fasting, Commonting upon his proposnl, the New York Muil very sensl- Dly, and tone too soverely, says: *Clieago people are hardly simple-minded enongh to rowaril Urlscom’s eiterpriso with o fortune, | Most of the sclentifie-facts could be ns well nseertalned by the starvation of n cat or dog, 1lowever, My, Bergh mny consider it less objectionnble to snerifice Griscom, and he may be right. Althungh Griscom abtalned from Dr. Heard n coriificate of sanity bofore starting for Chicago, he must bo something of o fool, and as such can he spared from Now York indefinitly. 'I'io dato for the be- ginning of his fast should have been April 1, instend of May L. ‘T'ho comments of the Mall will be heartily indorsed by every person of sonse in Chieago. ‘There fa no ono In this city who cares o straw whethor the man Griscom can fast forty days or forty years. Whatover in- formation was nceded by doctorsnsto tha endurance of fasting fools was snpplled by Tanner, whosa shrunken paunch was ex- Nibited every dny I ail its disgusting details to n disgusted community, Tho original faster hnving pockoted his morey nnd disap- peared from public viow, the community has the right to be shielded from any further nulsapees of this sort. Ifthe doctoss ara In quest ot Information ns to fasting capacitics, thoy can find out ait they need to know by experimentiug upon cats and dogs, it thoy are not interferéd with by the Ilumane Soclety. If thoy can Inveatigate somo of tha most abstruse problems of human life by ex- periments upon the fower anlmals, certainly they ean tell us all that ts worth kinowing about fasting by the same method of experl- ment, So faras the doctors aro concerned, they onght to be In better bustuess, It isnot very creditablo to an institution holding tho Iigh position of Rush Medieal College that it should open its doors to tho adinission of this man Griscom and become thenrenaof fasting foolery. 1f an admission is to be charged it {s to be hoped that no one in Chieago will iy & cont Into (risconv’s pockets. If the adimission Is frea it 1§ to bo hoped that noone will go. 1f the, senseless exhibition s for tho benefit of tho doctors it Is to be loped that they -~ will keep the Tesults to 'themselves. The peoply of this city have too much earncst and Im- portant work on hand to waste any thne upon this foolery, or to care anything nbout its re- sults, Monnwhile, 12 the man Griscom s in enrnest and the doctors atlow hin to go with- ont eating, they should bo arrested by the Iiumane Soclety and fined for cruelty to antmals, If he Is & mere sensationtat, thein ho should be sent to tho Bridewell ns n vagrant, If neither of theso results can be accom- plished, then the. county authoritivs shouid sond him to the proper asylum ns a lunatie, In any event, the people of Chicago should glve thistomtioolery a wide berth, or we shall soon hnve a crop of fnsting humbugs snd 1diots nll over the elty.
