Irish Chameleon Bernard Cavanagh and the fasting show
A long vignette recalls Bernard Cavanagh the Irishman who advertised a foodless diet, toured cities promising self denial, and was captured in Manchester after a disguise. A judge sentenced him to hard labor as moral caution, while the tale contrasts fasting with human folly and curiosity. Also notes voodoo belief in Macon and a medical claim about kidney symptoms from Dr Wu. H. Thompson. Warner's Safe Cure is recommended for kidneys.
