One gentleman, Dr. Bedortha, of Troy, 4 ter cure physician, up and stated that he had been a Teetirion for about twolve years, although had not entirely abstained from animal food during that time. He had, however, lived on vegetables en- tirely for three years at one time, and for periods of months at other times. He enjoyed good health now, and recovered from a low state of health under this system. He found it necessary in some instances to contine ete to a strictly vegetable diet.

A Vorer—Perhaps you give them too much cold ughter, rixm Vorcr—No, they don’t get toom uch cold r, but they don’t get work enough to keep them warm A little, good natured looking man, was the next to tell his experience. Me said he had been « vegetarian for forty years, and had brought up a femily of eight children, without allowing them to taste animal food. He first became a vegetarian from religious teachings, Ile was taught that man ought not to prey upon other animal existences, but should feed himself from the vegetables which the earth produced. This was the case in bis paradisaical state. After the fall, he was till ordered to draw his living from the ground. We find that for forty years a race ot human beings were sustained by vegetable diet.

Fruits are good as food. but they should be eaten with regular meals, as part of those meals, But I must call on Dr. Graham to give you stronger ment than I aim able to furnish you to- night, Dr. Guana, thus called upon, rose and said :—It was & most unexpected thing tor me to be called on to ad- dress an audience to-night. That I do so, is because of a weakness of my nature. It is because I cannot say no, when people urge me to speak. Nineteon years ago I first addressed an audience in this hall, and on that oceasion (looking around the hall) I did not look upon empty benches. (There were about 60 or 70 people in the house at this time.) But almost twenty years have taught me that no impression made upon ihe mind of man. for his own reform and his own good, is lasting, It is that I can no longer have that faith in man, that what I say to him will do him good, that my voice sinks, and I appear languid. Where are the congregations that used to listen to me? Where are the societies that were formed under the name of Pythago- rians, because they were afraid to be called Grahamites ? Then. every nook and corner was occupied, and the platform was crowded, and many sat literally at my feet and listened to me. Then there were among ny hearers many divines, D. D.’s; and others, who listened with great intorest to what T had to say. And tho told me that T was eloq Then I was fired wit ardor. and I spoke as I cannot speak here, to-night.

It was the ubiding faith that I possessed, that [had but to pre- ont the truth, to have it take effect im securing the rood intended; that, then, gare me the confidence which I porsessod. The speaker here passed to some confirmatory of wat Dr. Allcot had said in © to the anatomical and physiological adapted- noes ef man to live and thrive best on vegetables alone. The laws, said he, that govern the heavenly bodies are not morv’elearly defined. and do not more certuinly denote their action, than dors anatomy and physiology show that man is not a mest cating animal; and et, (in atone of contempt,) Dr, Wieting asserts that 11 natured man cannot be ‘developed without the uso ot flee Dr. Wirtina, who had been sitting on one of the side benches, here rose and said—I am the man whom you have némed. If Tam the one alluded to by you, 1 must say, in reference to your statement, it is five it is lic, (Great stir among the audience.) Mr. Gusnam, (energetically, and poiuting to Dr. W.) ~ That man told me, down stairs, that the fall natured wan could not be developed without the use of flesh Tere a tall dark complexioned man arose and suid — ut, I heard Dr. Wicting, and he did lampoon nd said his syrtem was false. ~L did not tell Di that man could not develope his nature on vegetal alone.
