At noon on Saturday, Dr. TANNER concluded his task of fasting 40 days.

When the clock struck 12-that is to say, a few minutes before 5 p.m.,
Greenwich time-Dr. TANNER , who had retired to a front parlour, walked into the main hall, and was received with an outburst of applause.   The doctor walking in from the front room and was weighed.   His weight was 121½ pounds, a loss of 36 pounds during the 40 days' fast.  After being weighed a glass of milk was handed to him and he drained it to the bottom with evident relish; it was filled again and again, and was eagerly drank by the famished man.   Then he ate a peach, and freely indulged in water melons, in the presence of about a thousand people, who repeatedly cheered him. 

Later in the afternoon he drank an ounce of Hungarian wine, and then ate half a pound of steak.   More fruit followed, and then he called for another steak, of which he ate half a pound.  He went to bed at 11 o'clock, awoke at one in the morning, ate a beefsteak, and drank some milk.   At 9.30 on Sunday he had another steak and stewed potatoes.  At noon on Sunday his weight was 126 lbs; gain, 4½ lbs in 24 hours.

 The total water drank during the fast was 667½ ounces.   The highest pulse was 116, lowest, 66; highest temperature, 100 4-5, lowest, 97 4-5; respiration varied from 13 to 18; dynamometer from 196 to 158.

Throughout the whole of Sunday he partook every hour of
refreshment, which comprised melons, potatoes, milk, beefsteak, beef tea, bread, wine, and Bass's ale.   In the morning he weighed 126 lbs.; in the evening, 130. 

He is in excellent spirits
