t. IV., p. 446.
FASTING GIRLS. 87 formed for the companionship of other persons. Thus a man was tormented by a demon, who forced him to fly into the forests, where he hid himself from mankind. One night he quit his house, and concealed himself in a cavern, remaining there entirely without food for sixteen days. Again he re- mained in the woods twenty-four days, neither eating nor drinking during this period. Finally his children found him, and taking him to a priest, had the devil exorcised, an...d he was cured.
Saint Prosper, of Aquaintoin, speaks of a young girl pos- sessed by a devil, and who went seventy days without eating.
Notwithstanding this long fast, she did not become emaciated, because every night at twelve o'clock a bird sent by the devil took a mysterious nourishment to her.
An astonishing feature in the cases of the diabolical abstain- ing from food, is that, as in the holy instances, they exhibit various manifestations of hysteria. Gorres, with a charming degree of simplicity, details these symptoms and failing, under the influence of the predominent idea which fills him, to recog- nize their real character, ascribes them without hesitation to devilish agency.
